- Many sociology majors go on to become counselors working in group therapy, with special regard to family planning, substance abuse and rehabilitation.
- The liberal aspect of this major allows you, with the appropriate skill-set, to work as a researcher, writer or even editor. Specializing in media emphasizing cultural and societal criticism is also a smart choice for sociology majors.
