Undergraduate training in Sociology can head you toward Law School, Business School, Social Work programs, or further training in many of the Humanities / Social Sciences (e.g., Criminal Justice, Sociology, Political Science, History, Economics).

You could, for instance, earn a Master's or Doctorate in Sociology and then either teach college (medium pay, great fun), work for a research firm (high pay, lots of statistics), or consult for businesses and other organizations (high pay in corporate world, but more fun and medium pay among nonprofits).

Sociologists with Bachelors degrees can go on to become city planners, lawyers, politicians, social workers, human resource managers, policy analysts, community developers, criminologists, forensic psychologists, census takers, therapists, journalists, school teachers, public relations managers, and sometimes wildly overpaid actors. Many of these jobs require no graduate training.
