<p>This is going to be a pretty short and sweet post. Basically, I am absolutely in LOVE with my sociology 101 class this semester, but I'd already sort of decided on a different major which I also still like, but not as much as sociology. It'd be a no-brainer if it weren't for the fact that majoring in sociology doesn't lead to any particular career, and worse yet, I'll probably make little if any money. The other track I am/was considering will lead to a career path and will make great money, but I may not be as passionate about it, and I will HAVE to get into grad school to make it happen. If I choose this track, I will minor in sociology so I can study it even though it wouldn't have anything to do with my career path. Thoughts? This is seriously driving me up a wall.</p>
<p>Major in what you enjoy – the job will come later. Besides, while some people say certain majors don’t lead to jobs i.e. English, Sociology, History besides in academia, the point of a degree, or at least the original intention behind one, was to study what you enjoy and become further educated. Don’t let what people tell you turn you off from following your passions!</p>
<p>Definately go for sociology if you love it. So many people here are focussed on solely the economic outcome of college. I think, in a way, by going with your real interests you actually stand out of the crowd. It’s how you market yourself after graduation and how you make contacts that will help most in getting a job. The business grads might be able to add up but you’ll be much better placed to understand the world these businesses inhabit and their customers.</p>
