@@PaolaRodriguez-rd2qi I mentioned that you'll need to do some quantitative research (stats and light maths), but you should get lots of support in your course - definitely ask if support is available if you're concerned about it though
I am 14 and have been stressing about my future and what I would study in college, I know it’s a few years away but I have been doing my research and Sociology has really gained my interest. I have always been interested in all of the concepts that it is, I also enjoy the fact that it has so many diverse career choices. Thank you for these videos!
Awesome to think about this and be aware of your options, but I wouldn’t worry about not knowing yet, even in college a lot of people‘s interests change, don’t get too mentally committed to any path too early, you might realize later it’s not for you and that’s ok.
I really do appreciate this. I’m 21 and I’ve been interested in helping on a large scale and not trying to find a niche. I’ve been interested in sociology, philosophy, and psychology.
Heyyy firstly loved your video ! Secondly I was literally thinking of doing a similar video to this because I graduated with a degree in sociology in 2019 and I literally got a grad job straight away so thank you for shining a light on how SIICK And interesting sociólogy is
So I am entertaining the possibility of studying sociology in my fourth year of physics and let me tell you why I found your video helpful. I am a physics major but after some life-changing events, I came to the realization that I am more suitable for human and society-related issues. Even back when I was doing physics, most of my interest was in sociology/psychology books and not physics-related. Physics is limiting for me and I want to study something with a more holistic approach(as you said in the video) and something that involves humans LOL. Your video gave me great insight into career and subject diversity, it is straightforward. Thank you!
I was a hardcore theatre student who had ambitions to study in a top stage school, that was until I reached Sixth form and took A-level sociology. I fell in love with the subject so quickly!!! cut to a couple of years later and I'm due to start my sociology degree at the university of Bath. Its great to hear from someone who studied the same subject at the same uni I want to go to.
Late but I am so glad I found your channel for those that want to make a difference and understand its hard but not impossible. The essays vs free writing though🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
Do you feel studying sociology can give you mental health problems because you are constantly aware of injustices and are more likely to take a victimhood stance in the world? I find it demotivating to try at life anymore because I am aware that life is mostly unfair from what I studied in the sociology unit I did at university. I feel like, ignorance is bliss lol
This is a tough one, I've come to the conclusion that yes, it is depressing but at the same time, the injustices *compells* me to try and alleviate those in some way in my life. So taking an active stance takes that victim mentality away. The more we turn a blind eye, the more we allow those injustices to happen, and we as Sociology students have the privilege to "see" these things. At the end of the day, having the ability to be ignorant is a privilege too. Hope this helps!
What are your thoughts on all the conservatives that say we must “take personal responsibility” and stop blaming others, the system, society, injustices etc...?

I am a incoming college freshman and guess what, the results from the entrance test are out and based on the overall results, I am qualified to enroll several courses including sociology. And im very thankful for this, because lately i've been very confused as to what course will i choose and thanks youtube's algorithm, I've been brought here and now im starting to have interest in sociology.
Thanks so much, I'm so happy for find your Chanel because first I can improve my English (yes I know I can't write English well hahaha) and second I can see another perspectives about sociology!! Thanks so much and I love your acent because I can understand all hahaha are you from England?
Hey ! I hope you're doing okay And i hope this too that you see my comment here Currently I'm in my college final year Sociology isn't my subject but i have read sociology,,,i wanna pursue masters and then phd in sociology,,, what's the scenario for scholarship(I'm from India)....
What should a sociology student do after he/she graduated? Do I take licensure exam or smth? I'm planning to take sociology without knowing a single knowledge where would it take me after I graduate. I'm so confuseeeeeed
Hey I completely get where you're coming from and this is a common fear amongst aspiring sociology students, so I have a playlist all about this, here's the link ru-vid.com/group/PLR-ZY1dpraKXganG4JzqFQFV7N4y0f4tu
I was thinking about this subject nd was pretty interested to explore myself.. It's my last year in school nd my exams are about start... So, I am looking for a majors in sociology and I have always been interested on the concepts u mentioned in this video.. Hope I'll get a good chance
So informative! Thanks for the video. Quick q, Will I still have diverse opportunity field options if I only have an associate degree in sociology or will I need to have a bachelors and up ,?
Hey there! Glad you like the video! That specifically I'm not sure, try and ask your teachers if they know - but I'm sure you can still do a lot with an associate degree
Hi! I've been looking around majors to see which ones i like. I really love literature and many social sciences but they seem to pigeonhole you in the future when it comes to finding employment. However sociology not only seems to align with my interests but also provides an array of job prospects. I wanted to know how you can make yourself available to employers, what are some skills you should equip yourself with like hard skills? Cos some ppl say that knowing hard skills like coding is pretty important alongside sociology. I'm really confused as to what i should do to prepare myself in college and idw to drop this choice i've found because the subject matter really interests me for something like information technology that still looks decent but not as interesting.
I'd advise you to study what you enjoy! Plus build some other skills on the side - either for fun or volunteering! For me, it did not pigeon hole me. Since I graduated from Sociology, I've worked in marketing and now as a Product designer :) here's a video that might help : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_ptxKy-cb5o.html
Between psychology and sociology what is better between the 2 (I want to do a levels but idk which subject to pick) so far I picked: Economics Politics Sociology or psychology I would be so happy if you would help :)
hey Natalia, that's a great question and I was actually in the same dilemma as you. I didn't do psychology so I can't speak accurately on that but in terms of sociology, if you're interested in - - how society works and how it affects individuals (and vice versa) - thinking critically and analysing your own way of thinking/biases then you'll pretty much be 100% suited to Sociology. I'd also advise asking about the topics you'll be studying to get a better idea and go from there - hope that helps!
Hey Jema, I had the exact same dilemma! I ended up going for Sociology because it's less "science-cy" than Psychology and Sociology is more about questioning how the world works than Psych. Check out this vid where I give a brief intro to Sociology, hope it helps! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-glQftzz0QLQ.html
absolutely no economics haha, I feel you. I didn't enjoy A level Econ 🤣 Depending on the course you study, it can be very flexible as most courses have optional modules that you can choose based on your interests
Heyy! I was looking into the University of Bath- I'm 16 but a concerned and so am looking into uni's. I read some really negative reviews about this University that you go to about bullying and discrimination and so was wondering if you have ever experienced such a thing and would you recommend this university?
Hi Nabila, I'm so glad you ask because even though I haven't experienced any bullying / discrimination myself, everyone has their own experience and there will always be ignorant people. My advice would be don't let those people hold you back from pursuing a degree / or going to a university you like. Also make sure you have a solid support network from home that you can lean on. Good luck on applying for university :)
@@JoellePhuaLife Okay, thank you. It's hard choosing universities abroad because we always want to ensure everything but then again, every place has it's pros and cons. Thank you! I've been watching your videos recently and they really do help clearing my doubts x
You will probably have to enter the medical field through the usual route - retraining. I'm not an expert in this, so please consult Google or a careers coach.
You can find some good ones online, like this one: www.routledge.com/Introduction-to-Sociology/Tubergen/p/book/9780815353850 But once you get to uni, the books depend on the modules you take. I also mostly get my reading from online academic journals which you'll get access to at university. Dont worry about reading too much before uni starts :)
Sociology graduates are totally employable! I've graduated in July (this year) and I landed an internship in August in Marketing and UX Design. You can really do anything you want to as long as you can prove you have some work experience (a job or side projects). No degree guarantees you a job!
@@thesilvashogun_9708 I am currently a psychology major and am generally interested in sociology as well. Are you double majoring or majoring and minoring (if so which is which) & what do you plan to do with the degrees!
@@ash.vi. ohhh sorry I’m not sure if i made it clear but I’m doing sociology and psychology a level. I’m planning on taking forensic psychology as a degree
@@ash.vi. I’m doing 3 A-Levels which are Economics, Psychology and Sociology. I’m in year 13 and then next year for university I’m going to do psychology :)
there are many :) just google top universities for sociology in UK and choose the ones in London: www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/rankings/sociology
Hello recently I got in LSE Sociology BSC (undergraduate) as I picked it solely based on my pure interest. I am concerned about my future careers tho... as well as what further studies (postgraduate) I can do after. I believe that getting a job would be hard after sociology bsc even tho i may be graduating from a russell uni (cuz its undergrad sociology not postgrad) so... Can you possibly give me some ideas on what further studies I can do after? I want to perhaps do ike developments and policies sort of thing.
Hey! That's exciting, I'm so happy for you! Wow LSE for sociology is really good and you already have an idea about what you want to do. If you want to do development / policy, I'd highly recommend you do a government summer internship or year placement . There are lots of areas you can apply to but the internship schemes are great! Check these out: www.faststream.gov.uk/early-diversity-internship-programme/index.html www.faststream.gov.uk/summer-diversity-internship-programme/index.html
@@JoellePhuaLife thanks for the kind reply I appreciate it. May I ask you one last question? If I wanted to do social policy or development studies msc, would it be a good idea to do an internship in the government as you have recommended? I'm struggling in life deciding Postgraduate vs career in policy and development...
@@bestofthebest9419 If it was me, I would do an internship (even if it's just a month or a summer internship), to get some real world experience. It would help to decide whether you actually want to pursue policy and dev, and maybe help to decide what to in a postgraduate!
@@JoellePhuaLife I have selected sociology but some of my friends are demotivating me that there is no job opportunities in this field please guide me i am very confused. What should I do?
@@zubairrind1081 hey! there are a TONNE of options for you if you study sociology. I, myself, have done work in marketing and now UX design. Here is a playlist you'll find useful all about jobs and career Sociology student / grad: ru-vid.com/group/PLR-ZY1dpraKXganG4JzqFQFV7N4y0f4tu Here's another useful video about How much can a Sociology Graduate earn? | ULTIMATE CAREER GUIDE FOR SOCIOLOGY STUDENTS & GRADUATES ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MZAhzkGWYVo.html
a TONNE!! I outline some in the video, but for example, I'm going into Marketing and UX design. I also am a cerrtified life coach (Sociology is super relevant).
@@leahdavies8159 I'd say to take a look at some university course you might be interested in and look at what modules/optional modules they offer. This will usually give you a better picture of what the courses are like and whether you'll like them / which you prefer. Of course, also speak to your teachers about this :))
I'd recommend finding books related to sociological topics that you're interested in, e.g Chavs by Owen Jones was great to learn about class inequality, the Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein was good for learning about imperialism. If I'm honest, I didn't actually use many books/textbooks during university, I mostly got references from academic journals and relevant academic texts.
Hey Laxana, I'd definitely encourage you to do more research into different courses and potential modules / topics you might to. Otherwise, you could actually study Zoology or something similar!
@@laxanaa9662 possibly! I'm not sure what the UPSC exam includes as I'm in the UK, so I'd suggest speaking to your teachers or someone similar to get their opinion :) good luck!
@@sunflower11.11 oops my mistake, Cambridge's online school doesn't have Sociology! I'm not sure what level Sociology you're looking for but here are some other links: Open Study College: www.openstudycollege.com/courses/a-level-sociology Reed has a few good ones: www.reed.co.uk/courses/sociology/online EDx has several courses from different universities / colleges: www.edx.org/learn/sociologywww.edx.org/learn/sociology
We have all sinned and fallen short of Gods glory sin is terrible because of sin we are separated from God but gladly here is the good news Jesus Christ came and walked this earth for everyone taught us the perfect way to live and how we should live and he died for our sins because we need a sacrifice to pay the price for our sins since our sins deserve hell if we live in sin but also more good news Jesus rose from the dead three days later we have to leave the sin behind and put it away and live new with Jesus this world is like a vapor it passes away but your eternity is forever and it is up to you what you want to do with it Jesus Christ is coming soon….
