Corporate job or Academic profession or civil service – Part 4

Welcome back!

So you are a social bee - and a serious social bee. You not just love to socialise - rather, you wish to figure out why people behave that particular way - what would be their reactions in a given situation - overall - you wish to explore human relationships.

Then congrats - you are an aspiring sociologist. And if your peers or 'padosi' is somehow trying to undermine you based on your choice of subject - relax. And tell them - you play a great role in the smooth maintenance of the society.

How!

1. Sociologists are in huge demand to figure out criminals - crime motives - or criminal motives in people. So, they are often employed by various organisations, police and security teams in order to understand the crime scene better or preventing crime from happening by getting early signs of it.

2. Most corporates hire sociologists - quite contrary to the notion that they do not find jobs in the corporate world. They are in demand so that they can help in resolving disputes and also quantify and qualify the motives of people at work.

3. As Urban Planner and also as part of UX design team - sociologists find a place so that human behaviour and interaction with each other can be incorporated in the design structure.

So, you see how important your role is.

And all these roles are high paying.

In case you wish to be in academics - training others for these roles - many practicing sociologists advocate getting a field experience prior to teaching as this enhances their teaching ability and enriches their experiences which could pave into excellent material to be shared with students in classroom.

Also - Civil service has one paper in mains where sociology could be opted for as optional one and like Psychology - it is also a scoring subject.

Now - if corporate world lures you - it is advisable that you gain some technical knowledge - like a little programming knowledge or design skill - like say a course in interior design or accounting or financial modelling or marketing skills. That will boost your knowledge and help you in performing your job better.

Now wondering where to pursue - here is a list of colleges within India where you can pursue it:

Delhi School of Economics
Tata Institute of Social Sciences
Lovely Professonal - where networking and placement is excellent
University of Pune
University of Hyderabad

Have a great time making a career as a social scientist
