Career questions tagged sociologist
Hello! My name is Christopher and I am a current high school student. I'm conducting an interview with any professional in the sociology field for a Foundations in Health Science Class project about careers! I have created a total of 13 questions. If you are able to answer these 13 questions for my project.
1. What profession did you choose? Why? 2. How many years of college did you need to go through? 3. What jobs did you work before you? landed your present professional job? 4. How can I decide if I should earn a Ph.D. in this field? 5. Were you in a college program? 6. Did you have to pivot and go back to school at a later date? 7. Did you shadow another professional in the field? 8. Did you join any school clubs related to your current profession? 9. Was there a particular subject you struggled with during your school years? 10. What skill sets did you learn or gain while pursuing your career? 11. How many books about sociology have you written? If so what are the names? 12. What is something you wish you knew before becoming a sociologist? 13. What other majors would be good to take to help you become a sociologist? Thank you! Sincerely Christopher
What entry-level jobs will lead well into a social science research career?
What entry-level jobs will lead well into social science research jobs? I am finishing up my Bachelor's degree in Sociology and want to know what possible careers I could pursue to do a lot of good in the world. I always say I want to do research to influence public policy but I don't know what that would actually look like or if it would be effective. Eventually, I want to do things that will help leaders make positive changes in society.
