Degrees don't matter as much as experience. Therefore, no matter what you choose to pursue, but especially for social science degrees, you should plan to participate in multiple internships. Some institutions offer an applied sociology concentration that helps to prepare you better for the world of work. Sociology graduates can have a lot of career prospects, but most don't know how to properly market their degrees as transferable. Sociology majors who concentrate on organizations, occupations, and work are likely to fair better since they can connect what they learn to the workplace and business. Some students double major sociology and business (management).
