My bachelor degree is in Sociology with emphasis in Social Work, Now What?


I'm
constantly looking and submitting my resume for jobs very similar to my education

I majored in Sociology (minored in Ethnic Studies) when I was in college and I currently have a county job, working for a Job and Family Services agency. I think that you should possibly pursue employment with the government, whether it's local, county, or state level. I think that you would be able to find something. It takes a great deal of time when it comes to the hiring process with those types of places- up to 6 months. Many of my college friends were Sociology majors and they are currently working in the following areas of government and social services agencies, Income maintenance- where they determine eligibility for financial assistance for families, Children Services, Employment and Training- assisting job seekers,and,Child Support Enforcement. It can be a challenge because some places do prefer a MSW or some type of license. A few of my friends decided to pursue graduate studies and have switched gears, heading towards education and human resources. I myself am currently going through the application process of graduate school. If I could do it all over again, I would have had a double major because it is hard when you're majoring in the social sciences, I don't know how many job interviews I went on where I was asked what sociology was. Good luck to you in your job search.

Best advice would be to go on for your MSW. You may be able to get an entry level job in a state agency of social services - however since you don't have a BSW you will be at a disadvantage.

DA

You can apply to NGO's which are working for rural development schemes. But if you get any new generation certificates like relationship programme, customer care etc you have wider possibilities.
