<p>nah you’re good :)</p>
<p>I did notice Sociology itself had more girls than guys, and the professors were very liberal…</p>
<p>If you want an alpha male major, go for Criminal Justice…male dominated and conservative profs since a lot of them are ex-cops or ex-military…</p>
<p>No, but I know a lot of college basketball players major in that. You should watch college basketball sometime and when the player stats and info appear during their free throws, then look at it. You will probably catch one or two guys majoring in it during the whole game.</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>I’m not sure whether which stereotype is worse: Sociology being a major that is seen as easy – slackers, hello – or that it’s a ‘girlie’ major.</p>
<p>At my school the sociology classes offered are kinda disappointing content and subject wise.</p>
<p>I have one female friend who is majoring in sociology because she wants to be a social worker. However, one of my business counselors at my school has his bachelor’s in business and his master’s in sociology. It’s also the most common major on my football team.</p>
<p>If you want to do sociology then I hope you plan on getting a PhD in it eventually because I would definitely consider it an easy major, which is why so many guys on my team major in it. I would say sociology, psychology, and philosophy are considered easy majors. I would also say that you are right (to a certain degree) about good paying jobs being in business, science, and engineering. Sociology majors are a dime a dozen. The teachers are usually more liberal and the material is very subjective, and doesn’t necessarily require you to have any particular skill.</p>
<p>I feel your pain though about this major. I personally really enjoy studying anything involving human behavior, like anthropology, sociology, psychology, communications, women’s studies, foreign languages, or any cultural studies for that matter. However, I also really like business, and I realized that I would have a much better chance at becoming wealthy by using my business skills. The good news though is that business does require a certain amount of human interaction (sociology) and the ability to understand and “read” people. So for me, even though I’m not specifically studying human behavior, it is definitely a part of what I’m learning.</p>
<p>You’re only 18 so don’t freak out if you’re unsure what to do right now. We’re here to help so don’t hesitate to ask again down the road. Good luck with the decision.</p>

<p>I’ve never seen it. I usually see General Studies or African American Studies. Whatever it is, most of them don’t graduate. (in 4 years anyways)</p>
<p>yeah like two-thirds of the usc football team majors in sociology. and a ton (or at least every female athlete) do communications. those two majors are havens for athletes who need easy classes to have a pre-defined gpa to play in their sport.</p>
<p>I agree with DeadMonkey. Although such a degree is taken very seriously by some people, a degree in something like General Studies, Sociology, Psychology, Communications Studies, etc. is commonly seen as being more of a “dumb jock” type of major in many athletic programs.</p>

<p>Did business being the most popular major at universities somehow escape your attention?</p>
