Hey all,
So I've pretty much convinced myself that I want to become involved in the social science, especially in the way of humanitarian aid and international policy. But naturally I'm not sure as to how feasible these types of positions are in this everchanging job market, and a lot of the info I find is hypothetical, 'you can be everything' type stuff. I'd be happy to settle for a job less grandoise like say city planning, teaching or social work for the time being, but I would like to do something more relevant to my interest of helping those in need in the future.
I'm curious if any of you have any experience in this type of work, and if you can share some wisdom on the kind of job prospects available for someone with a BA in sociology. It's still pretty early for me deciding, I have another year of high school equivalent education ahead of me, but I definitely want to have an idea of where I'm heading, and most of all whether it's a feasible direction in this current job climate of ours.
Thanks
