Q: What jobs can i get with a sociology degree and do I NEED a PhD for sociology careers? Thanks!
well, I'm not sure if you'd be interested in being a social worker, but I know that is something that you can do with a sociology degree. you do not need a phd. I think you can even get a job in social work with only a bachelor's degree. (I'm trying to remember what my prof. was saying about this whole subject!) I know you have to take a licensing exam and all that.

My professor was telling us once about jobs, and one was in a hospital as surroundings counselor (or something like that) and all that was required for that job was an associates (2 year degree!) in psych or soc. (which was super surprising to me!) but it just goes to show you that there are tons of jobs out there for the behavioral science area that do not need a PhD.

I'm a psych major, so I'm not really super knowledgeable about sociology majors and all that, but I remembered my prof. talking about jobs and sociology and psychology so I figured I'd try to give you some kind of answer! (since there wasn't any before!)


It all depends on what kind of job you were interested in doing in sociology. teaching it?.. using it in some kind of social work.. or counseling.. (if you want to teach it, you need a PhD)

anyways! hopes this helps you out a bit!
:)

Thank you!
