I have really good internship offers for the medical field, but Im really only interested in the Mental Health field, does anyone have any recommendations to what I should do?
Hi, Currently I am a highschool student who is also minoring in psychology at community college and plans to double major in psychology and sociology, then earn a masters in social work, recently I was presented the opportunity to be inscribed with the Congress of Future Medical Leaders Award of Excellence, which is a two day national academy of future physicians congress meeting that will also allow me to be featured on local TV stations and newspapers. The problem being that I'm not interested in the medical field as a future career path. If I were able to pass this over to someone else, I would but I can't. This would be a really big opportunity to put myself out there, and it would look really good on college applications, and on my academic profile, but it doesn't have anything that I inherently want for my future career path, and it also might look weird on my college applications.

Is a sociology degree helpful for public relations?
Hi, My name is Alyssa. I am a 25-year-old student who is almost ready to transfer to a #communication university to finish my bachelor's. I currently will hold 2 AAs in communication studies and sociology. My goal is to work with the public ultimately. I want to help with charitable campaigns, environmental work, and law. My counselors suggested PR, which is intriguing, but I wonder how applicable it is. I also personally am working on my own to start side projects spreading awareness and action for saving bees and plastic cleanups. I know they are small but it is my passion. Would a career in PR be anything similar to these endeavors? #law #sociology #public-relations #environment#campaign

Should I change my major from sociology to political science?
I chose sociology because I have an interest in learning about people and the problems we face in the world. I don’t know what I want to pursue career wise but I do know that I want to be able to change lives for the better. I recently have taken a liking to political science and I think it’s really interesting how the government works in different ways. I’ve also realized that their isn't a lot African American representation in politics and I would like to see that change. I don’t find sociology that interesting anymore because I feel like it is common sense that is already applied to me but I could always choose political science as a minor. Any thoughts? #college-major #political-science #career-path #sociology.
I am extremely interested in Criminal Justice and Sociology, but I don't know if I should double major, or if I should get a master's in one area. What's the most logical and cost effective thing to do?
I have a real passion for sociology and criminal justice. I'm not too sure what I want to do career-wise , but I do know that I want to be involved in helping people (especially children) of racial minorities break free from systemic racism. I am extremely passionate about social change and want to work to help fix a justice system that targets and fails socioeconomic minorities. That being said, I have narrowed down the two majors that can help me achieve these goals to sociology and criminal justice. However, I'm not sure what level of degree to pursue. I have been advised to pursue a master's in either subject, but I'm not sure which major is better for my interests. I have also considered double-majoring, but from what I've read I'm not too sure that double majoring is worth it. Any advice on what degree/major I should pursue? Is double majoring really not worth it? If I do double major, will it carry the same value as a master's degree in either area? If I have to choose, how can I know which major is right for me? #criminal-justice #college #sociology #college-major

Is it possible to complete a psychology PhD under a faculty member in a different department?
I'm looking into psychology graduate programs, particularly looking for researchers who study sexuality/relationships. People in this area vary in their actual department - for example, some are in sociology, communications, medicine, social work, etc. which vary pretty drastically from psych in terms of how the departments operate. If someone in a department like this is studying something I'm very interested in from a psychology perspective, would I be able to somehow complete my PhD under them? Can I do that by having a co-advisor in the psych department and if so, what might be the criteria for finding an advisor in psych? #psychology #research #grad-school #social-work #psychiatry #communications #sociology #graduate-school #phd #admissions #applications #college #medicine

Complimentary major/minor for Sociology major?
I plan to chase after a career in international human rights law, working with NGO's like Amnesty International or the EU court of human rights. With that in mind, I've thought about minors/ double majors in subjects like Spanish or international studies, but am still undecided what subject would both compliment my interest in sociology and prepare me for a career in this specific field of law. (Or just law and law school in general, really). #sociology #international-humanitarian-law #human-rights #double-major #college-minor #law-school

Can I actually find the job of my dreams?
I'm really interested in any and all behavioral sciences, like #sociology, particularly #criminal-psychology or #forensic-psychology. I want to study people, how we work, why we do what we do, and everything associated with us. But I don't know if that dream is reachable. It seems so far fetched its almost a fantasy. I know I wont get everything I want in life, but I'd like to find something close to what I aspire to do. My faith in finding a job after college that fulfills what I want is slowly dwindling, can I find something out there?
