Careers in Sociology
What is the outlook for employment opportunities a few years from now?
|
Career opportunities are undergoing a number of changes, all of which will be beneficial to the student who graduates with a degree in sociology. For the past several decades the American economy has been shifting more and more to a service-oriented emphasis. There are more people living in America over age 65 today than ever before. Social problems continue to plague every aspect of American life. Inner cities are facing both decay and reconstruction as a sprawling suburbia reshapes what used to be the small town and rural landscape. It's a shrinking world that relies more and more on global cooperation in international relations, marketing, and political cooperation. At the same time, society continues to be more credentialized, demanding that applicants possess a minimum of a four-
year degree.
