SOCIOLOGY   Many occupations today require a college educated individual who can write and speak well, solve problems, learn new information quickly and work well with others on a team. This means that college graduates use their education in a wide variety of fields, and your future career may relate more to your personal career interests, work values and transferable skills than any specific academic major. However, the following list contains a representative sample of current job titles of former Sociology majors. Use this as an idea list, and remember that it represents some, but certainly not all, of the careers you might consider. Students obtaining employment immediately upon graduation are usually those with the best college records and a willingness to relocate to find a job. Some of these jobs also require education beyond a bachelor’s degree.    Related Career Titles for Sociology Majors  Administrative Assistant  Criminologist  Marriage and Family Therapist  Reporter  Admissions Counselor  Data Analyst  Medical Social Worker  Research Assistant  Adoption Agent  Day Care Worker  Mental Health Agent  Researcher  Advertising Manager  Delinquency Counselor  Motivational Speaker  Resident Assistant  Aging Specialist  Demographic Analyst  News Correspondent  Retail Salesperson  Alcohol and Drug Case Worker  Dietitian  Nutritionist  Sales Representative  Budget Analyst  Editor  Parole Officer  School Counselor  Career Services Counselor  Family Guidance Clinic Worker  Peace Corps/VISTA Worker  Secret Service Agent  Case Aid Worker  Family Preservation Case Worker  Penologist  Shipping Operations Manager  Child Welfare Officer  Family Services Specialist  Personnel Interviewer  Social Movements Organizer  Civil Engineer  Financial Aid Director  Personnel Specialist  Social Scientist  City Planner  Foster Care Worker  Political Systems Researcher  Social Welfare Examiner  Clergy  Fund-raiser/Development Officer  Population Specialist  Social Worker  Community Relations Director  Gerontologist  Probation Officer  Systems and Programming Specialist Community Service Agency Worker  Government Worker  Professor  Teacher  Compensation/Benefits Worker  Group Therapist  Program Director  Technical Writer  Congressional Aid  Health Care Worker  Public Administrator  Teller  Consultant  Hospital Administrator  Public Health Educator  Therapy Aid  Consumer Advocate  Human Resources Administrator  Public Health Statistician  Trainer  Consumer Survey Advisor  Human Services Worker  Public Opinion Surveyor  Unit Secretary  Convention Organizer  Independent Living Trainer  Public Relations Specialist  Urban Planner  Cooperative Extension Agent  Insurance Agent/Broker  Public Service Worker  Veterans Affairs Specialist  Correctional Case Worker Job Analyst  Recreation Director  Welfare Counselor  Corrections Officer  Labor Relations Representative  Recreation Therapist  Writer/Author  Cottage Parent  Marketing Research Analyst  Rehabilitation Counselor     Sociology Websites Information on Careers in Sociology. http://ww.geneseo.edu/~soc/careers.htm   The SocioWeb-Guide to Sociological Resources on the Internet http://www.socioweb.com/~markbl/socioweb/ American Sociological Association http://www.asanet.org The New Social Worker Online http://www.socialworker.com Action Without Borders-Non Profit Organizations and Opportunities http://www.idealist.org/
