I was an elementary education major to which I realized my heart was not fully into. So I recently changed my major to sociology. My neighbor said that wasn't very smart because I have to do a lot of schooling for that. I read I can complete four years of schooling to earn my bachelors and still get just as many jobs as a normal person. Now, I'm nervous about my choice to major in sociology. Please help me out. Are you in sociology? Did you hear sociology majors do a lot of school or are unhappy? Thank you! (link)

If it's your passion/interest... go for it. I'm sure there have been some soc. majors who were miserable because it wasn't for them, but once you get into it you'll just know.
If anything, your neighbor sounds like the one who isn't so smart. I admire your ambition, and that you're willing to go to school for a while to get your degree... but I don't think you have to be in classes longer than the average student unless you're double majoring or something. Worst case scenario, you take some courses over the summer!
It's true that sociology is not the most marketable subject to have a degree in, however. Aside from being a sociologist, writer/journalist, or teacher, there isn't a whole lot out there. Regardless, there's a lot you can do with your knowledge in those areas.
God bless, and good luck
xoxo
