<p>I go to the University of Michigan and I'm thinking about doing the sociology with a sub-concentration on business and the economy. I'm wondering if this is a marketable degree. </p>
<p>I want to work in finance after graduation and I have already completed two internship. However I'm thinking about changing my major from econ to soc. </p>
<p>Basically I never wanted to major in econ but I decided to only because I thought it was the most marketable, but in I really do like sociology. </p>
<p>Also I have taken a lot of econ and a few accounting classes. </p>
<p>I really enjoy sociology myself, but unless you want to be a social worker, I wouldn’t do it. My accounting teacher says he always asks students with a social science degree if they’ve practiced saying “do you want fries with that?” because he tells that’s all they’re going to be doing with that kind of degree.</p>
<p>If I could do another major just for fun it may very well be sociology, but I chose business instead because I like it and because there’s a lot more earning potential. What you might want to do (this is what I’m doing) is try being a business management major. I like the major because you get a lot of knowledge about business, but a huge part of being a manager is knowing how to manage/work with/motivate people. It requires a lot of people skills that you will need in order to be successful in different social situations. Just a thought.</p>
<p>I know it’s not a marketable degree, but I’m wondering if it is going to be a big deal since I already have two internships, one in treasury and another in internal consulting. Also I will have another internship after this summer. Finally I’ve taken 6 or 7 econ classes and a few accounting classes as well.</p>
<p>Load up on the accounting classes and take some finance as well and you’ll be fine. The business majors will still be a step ahead for the top jobs, but if you’re good, you’ll find good work.</p>
<p>look into the MAcc program at Ross. Ross has a really extensive set of networks that WILL get you the interviews you need to get the jobs you want. They also prefer those with an undergrad from U of M, putting you at an advantage over other applicants. I did that program a few years ago, and I really enjoyed my experience at Ann Arbor.</p>
