Hi Cornel, the field of Sociology is broad, giving you many options for a career. Here's a definition from the American Sociological Association (ASA), "It is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies and how people interact within these contexts." The third link below provides more information from the ASA.
The other two links below are focused more on different types of jobs related to sociology and the job prospects and pay ranges. It seems that you could find your niche both in terms of your studies and career. It's fine if you are not sure of your niche now. You could find it by taking different courses and serving different internships to find what appeals to you.
Good luck!
