Question by ehh: What careers could I have with a sociology degree?
A bachelor’s degree in Sociology? What careers can I have?
I googled a few, but a probation officer or social worker isn’t really my thing. I love sociology, just not a lot of the careers that I have seen in practice of the major…
That’s one idea…can’t you only teach at high school level with it?

Best answer:

Answer by whaaTever21
my major is sociology also and i am going to be a probation officer. you can also be social worker but i heard they dont get paid alot. but you should do some reasearch on each job to find out what you would enjoy doing.

Question by Barrett!!!: Career with Kinesiology and Exercise?
I want to do something with Exercise and still make somewhat good money. I’d love to research it, but I want to be involved with it. I love the scientific aspect behind it.

Any pointers on should I major in something else to pursue my love of teaching or to major in Kine and find something better?

My son has a Kinese degree and now works at a law firm. The science aspect of that major might qualify you for employment with pharmaceutical companies, etc.
Be a teacher. Better yet, be an administrator in the education system. I know administrators (asst. principals, etc) who have teaching degree’s, never taught, and make $ 75,000+ a year. requires a minimum of a master’s dgreee in Ed. Go on for a PhD and earn over $ 100,000+

Question by 518914: What are some different jobs available for a gerontologist?
I am in high school and am trying to think of future careers I may want. I love working with the elderly and figured gerontology would be good for me. Only problem is I don’t wish to be a nurse or doctor and I don’t know any other jobs available in gerontology other than nursing.

Best answer:

Answer by Andrew
I am currently a Gerontology major in college and although I have not taken too many classes for the major yet, I do know of some careers available in it; you can be a lawyer and practice elder law, there are many career oppertunities for running a nursing home such as a nursing home administrator, activities director at a nursing home, running an assisted living facility, architecture for building properties for elders, social worker for elderly people, hospital careers in administration or marketing.

Question by SoccerManiac: What are some majors/careers like Sociology?
Hi, i was wondering some majors/careers that are somewhat comparable to sociology. i still have a few years to decide my major, but i love every single social studies class i had, and probably will have. So i want it something to do with social sciences.

thank you in advance

Answer by Carl A
Anthropology is one.

The major difference is a focus less on a particular culture and social situation and a willingness to agree that people can be inherently different based on environment, history, and genetics. Expect a hybrid between biology and social science for anthropology.

As a career, anthro can be applied (working cross-culturally or internationally) or academic and includes the fields of archaeology and some sub-areas of human genetics.

Social Psychology is another.

Instead of ascribing all behavioral differences to differences in learning, social psychology (and psychology in general) look at differences in individual behaviors based on both a biological and learning basis. Expect more in the way of quantitative (research based on measurement and statistics) than sociology.

Social psych as a career can be academic, lead to work in human resources and/or business management, and potentially therapeutic careers.

Women’s studies is similar in background as sociology but with an agenda attached.

I really do not know what women’s studies people do as a career.

Political Science is another related field.

Essentially, it’s an applied sociology with the focus on government and institutions rather than basic understanding of social situations. Expect more statistics and possibly even game theory to help understand political decision making.

Career-wise, these are the people who try to understand and influence political institutions… Campaign managers, analysts, staffers, etc.

Finally, criminal justice is related.

Once more, it’s mostly applied sociology with a focus on rule violation and how to identify it, fix it, and prevent it. Career-wise, you’re looking at law enforcement, law, advocacy for victims and criminals, and other related job aspects.

There’s also Social Work, but you might just want to google that one.

Will I have time with my family?
Are there emergencies in oncology?

Best answer:

Answer by Diane A
You would have the same amount of time as any other MD in an acute care type practice. You would do office hours, hospital rounds, and, yes, take call. Oncologists have emergencies.

Question by blah blah: Pediatric Oncology career/life/how do you do it?
I’m a junior in high school and getting ready to go or at least start my path to college. My dream has always been to go into pediatrics and oncology has always fascinated me. So even though it is a emotionally hard job, I feel like it would be very rewarding to help children who probably don’t know how much longer they have to live. I feel like if I can make them happy, then my job is fullfilled. But my question is, how do you pediatric oncologists, or any doctors for that matter enjoy life at home. I want a family and another life besides work, but do you manage to find time for that? I don’t want to miss out on what life has to offer, but I still want this career SOOO badlyy.
any advice? how do you guys manage?
thank you in advance. it’s really appreciated. =)

Answer by someday, i will change the world
what a coincidence, i am i junior in high school and i want to become a pediatric oncologist, also!

basically you have to go to a four year college for pre-med, or biology, something along those lines, go to a med school. All doctors have the same classes in med school. During internship, you spend time with doctors in the same field, that you want to go in. And then residency, then you are a doctor.
it will take approximately 12 years to become a pediatric oncologist
