Has anyone here completed a degree in sociology? If so, did it open any doors for you? What are you doing now as a graduate? How do you feel about the pay?
Did you enjoy the degree? What sorts of things did you study?
If you are currently studying Sociology, how are you finding it? What are you planning to do for a living after you graduate?
Sorry for all the questions. I'm thinking of doing it at Uni but I am uncertain of the job prospects connected to it or whether I shall enjoy it or not.

Study of society and social problems.
Having said that, I'm doing a pretty limiting degree myself :rolleyes:
What's that then?
How to use computers to draw
Lol! Do you enjoy it?
Although I was more interested in a more general Social Science degree. Maybe Psychology, Sociology and History.
So yeah, um, if anyone knows about those as well... [/hijack]
Sorry HunnyPot
You should be! JK I'm also curious about a History Degree, or English.
Are you applying to uni this year or next?
This year. If I go to Uni I'll be going in Autumn 2004. Gosh when I put it like that it's scary!
Hmm. You should let me know what you find out so I'm all prepared for applying next year
We all live in the world and we are all involved in social interactions.
There are many different areas of scoiology which means that as a subject it isn't actually as limiting as many people would have you believe. At degree level, depending on which university you attend, you have the choice of modules, which focuses your degree on certain aspects. For example I enjoy the criminology side of sociology.
Areas of sociology include social processes (such as going to the pub and shopping), population, class, race, ethnicity, gender, health care, gloablaisation etc.
I have a wide and varied interest in the world and this is reflected in sociology. Lots of people think we just sit around and talk about "the world" as we see it, but at degree level you will study theories of sociology which are often interesting, and you can debate varying theories.
Areas you can move into include teaching, criminology, criminal investigation (the policeforce etc), social work, social care, counselling and therapy.
Hope this helps.
Yar it does my love, but I'm still anxious to hear from people who have completed it. I'm wondering what the pay's like mostly
We have a lecture that lasts 3 hours where we have to analyse various films, cuts, camera angles, sounds etc... sucks all the fun out of the day.
And the fire alarm keeps going off in my halls. Being woken up at 1am, 1:30am, 2am, 3:30am and 5:15am, having to evacuate and stand outside in the cold is not fun! :no: :mad: especially when you next wake up at 1:30pm (by another fire alarm) and realise that you missed both, your lecture at 10am and your lecture at midday.
But that's nothing to do with the course, so I really can't complain too much...
But yeah, fun course, if not a little below me for the next couple of weeks.
I don't think I'd enjoy your course!
I'm thinking of doing Sociology and Politics now. Still not sure though. Argh.

Are you doing just Sociology, or with another subject as well?
And how is it different from A-level? Is it any more or less enjoyable?
Ooooh that sounds good, the theories confuse me, heh.
What other subjects are you doing?
Is that because you already know about the marxist/functionalist etc perspectives on things so theres no need to elaborate, like they use that as a basis for more stuff? How different is it? Id think it would be a lot more enjoyable as it probably would be a lot more relevent to todays society than the stuff you study for A level as thats really just a background.
i'm doing a 3rd year at college (already gone sociology a-level, got a b) and am applying to do either social policy and criminology or sociology and criminology. Not sure yet, need to find out more about the courses
me likes sociology
