Reply:In general, sociology gives a student a broad understanding of human behavior. However, for those who go beyond the bachelor's degree, the field begins to narrow to their particular interest. Consequently, it has been said that a person with a Ph.D. in sociology does not know any more than a person with a Master's, except in one isolated field.





However, it has been my experience to witness that those who obtain the Master's know considerably more than those who stop with a bachelor's.





I make these prefactory remarks to make an important point: It is almost impossible to answer your question without knowing your area of specialization. For example, when there is an opening in a sociology department in a university, the soc. faculty generally need to make a decision. Do we try to find a demographer? How about someone in human services? Maybe industrial sociology?





As Durkheim found in his studies, the more comlex society becomes, the more it relies on increasing social differentiation.


So, whereas a Ph.D. in sociology use to qualify one for virtually any profession within the field, that's no longer the situation.





Governments and NGOs (non-governmental organizations) have a need for demographers and researchers.





Business tends to choose people with their advanced degrees in human services or industrial sociology.





Various polling organizations, the Bureau of the Census, and political organizations generally want people who have experience in survey research.





But, people interested in more esoteric aspects of sociology (like phenomenology, epistemology, the sociology of knowledge, sociological theory, etc.) almost always wind up in academia or, a few, may work within a "think tank," like the Rand organization.





All occupations that require a Ph.D. pay good salaries, with the possible exception of some (but not all) charitable organizations.





When you say that you are looking for a position with a pay scale betweee 8,000 and 13,500, you are not giving any relevant information. If you were writing a survey instrument for one of my classes, I'd give you an "F."





Are you talking about U.S. dollars, Euros, rupees, yen, pesos, etc. Also, are you talking about a monthly income, annual salary, or some other interval between pay checks.





As you progress in your study of sociology, I hope that you'll learn how to gather specific information and avoid double-barreled items, like "Are you worried about North Korea experimenting with atomic bombs and think that the best course of action for western allies is to bomb the country before it is too late?" I hope that you see why this is a bad question. I may be concerned that North Korea (or anyplace else) is experimenting with nuclear devices, but I may not think that the solution is to start dropping bombs.





I'd advise you to discuss your future with your professors. If they are not helpful, contact the American Sociological Association and request the organization's various publications on careers.
