Careers in Sociology
For more information
|
If these few pages have inspired you to consider sociology as a major and subsequent career, you'll want to explore the following websites for more information. You'll also want to attend various "Job Fairs" and other such events that your college or university may be hosting. Start attending these early in your college career. Even though the agencies may be looking for graduates, you'll begin your own network of possible career opportunities after you walk down the aisle to receive your diploma. In addition, many of these agencies look for part-time employees and may offer summer employment or internships.
