My career

Today I’m going to talk about my career: sociology. Sociology is a profession that is not always clear enough. Therefore, it leaves a wide space for the imagination. Showing up next, the advantages of the imprecision of the discipline will be presented.

Since I said I wanted to be sociologist, the usual question was: what does a sociologist do? And, until now, it’s hard to find a strongly answer. That’s why in the present essay we are going to talk about some of the many things that sociology does. It will depend on the area of sociology. Here I’ll present some examples:

You can study social cohesion in a school, from the sociology of education.

you can study class differences, from the sociology of stratification.

You can study religious phenomena, from a sociology of religion.

You can study the social construction of the city, from an urban sociology.

You can study the identity of seasonal workers, from a rural sociology.

You can formulate and evaluate social projects of public policies.

As you can see, sociology can cover various areas, but always studying it from a perspective of formations, transformations, changes and social processes. It could investigate identities, groups, social classes, cultures, politics, and everything you can imagine that involves social interaction. That’s why I like sociology, if you don’t like an area, you can study another one.

As you can see, sociology is a career that is tailored to the student’s interests, in which you can move from one speciality to another. It’s ok if people don’t know too much about the career, that’s the good thing: sociology isn’t a static profession. It is in constant transformation and adaptation.
