I’d say you can do anything you want, but don’t plan on your BS is Sociology helping you get a job in any other area other than social work…. get a masters degree and teach

There’s not a TON, no. but there’s plenty of other jobs for Soc. majors outside of social work. And a lot of social work dones’t really require a soc. degree anyway.

No problem. I was a sociology major in college myself. I’m a poor example though I’m not really using my dergree.
