Sociology Career Options

Multiple career options are available to individuals with sociology backgrounds. These careers require different skills and levels of expertise and some require additional training beyond the bachelor's degree. However, there are a number of entry level positions available in settings as varied as business and industry; research organizations; hospitals and nursing homes; personnel and public relations departments; educational institutions, as well as local, state, and federal government agencies. While the job market and job descriptions for many of these positions may vary, intelligent and motivated individuals who understand people, organizations, and society are always needed.
