#although i'm often told by others that the jobs you land after graduation depend more on luck and coincidence

[sociologi]

I am in last year of bachelor's degree of sociology and I am confused to what do next ?? Some guidance or advice??

Hi anon! Thanks for your message ♡ I think that, while studying sociology gives you many different options, whether you want to continue your studies or find a job, it also means that it can be a bit harder to find out what you can actually use your degree for. So I completely understand how you’re feeling!

Personally, I chose to do my masters in sociology as well, but that is mainly because where I’m from (Denmark) it is nearly impossible to get a job with only a bachelors degree. But I think it’s generally important to figure out which topics you find the most interesting and dive into those - sustainability, social work, HR, criminology, etc. Because sociology is so broad I find it easier to motivate myself when I narrow down my focus. And my impression is that it also makes it easier to apply for jobs later on, as your profile isn't as broad.

Doing internships, volunteering, collaborating with a companies on projects if you can, or finding a relevant part time job can all be really great for figuring out what you want to do after graduating. Plus, it gives you a great network that you can use later on!

I also really recommend going on LinkedIn and looking at what other sociologists do. This has given me lots of inspiration.

I hope this was helpful, otherwise feel free to message me again!!
