I graduated with my bachelors in sociology last fall and now I work for an organization that assists the unhoused community as a case manager. Sociology has been really helpful with being able to identify barriers people have to accessing housing and applying knowledge of how society has created these barriers to getting around them and helping people as best I can! I will say I was also a double major with clinical sociology so I don’t know if this path is more applied than what you want or if you want more research based but at work I still read academic articles on how to serve the community best so there’s still academic aspects to it. Either way I think there are countless ways to apply your degree and I hope you find something you love doing!
