This supplementary text helps students and professors answer the often-asked question, "What can I do with a degree in sociology?" It provides meaningful answers to a specific, targeted audience: typical students, 18 to 20 years old, taking their first sociology courses. The book presents a series of biographies, "Character Profiles," which serve as a template for career development on the basis of a degree in sociology. They include discussions of what can be done with a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D., or a combination of degrees (e.g. Sociology and Business). An appendix, "A Workbook for Job Seekers in Sociology" takes students step by step through job search tactics and career development strategies.

What to Do with Your Psychology or Sociology Degree (Career Guides) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I haven't read the whole thing, but it has helped me in realizing I have valuable skills as a psych major that I didn't know were worth mentioning on a resume or to employers. It also has a great section on jobs, giving a profile for a specific entry-level job in a certain career path. These are practical jobs that the average psych/soc (they have different sections for each) graduate could be eligible for. It also made me realize that there are more jobs than people would like you to think out there for psych majors. There is also a section on how to network, step-by-step.
I took a star off because I have a short attention span and the book was a little to texty for me, I prefer a career guide that is more at-a-glance, since there are so many different books and resources to explore, and I can't spend time on just one.
