1, strong theory determines its employment range deviation.
The employment direction of sociology is to engage in social research and investigation, policy research and evaluation, social planning and management, development research and prediction in education, scientific research institutions, party and government organs, press and publication, enterprises and institutions, and social organizations. But in fact, educational and scientific research institutions can be excluded, and they rarely recruit students majoring in sociology.
Due to theoretical deviation, there are not many units recruiting this major.
Other employment directions need to "cross the wooden bridge with thousands of troops" to compete for employment. Everyone knows that party and government organs, social organizations, enterprises and institutions are not easy to enter.
2. The development of society needs this sociology professional.
Sociology major is theoretical, but it also has a grounded side, because it studies realistic social problems and problems in our daily life. The corresponding practice of sociology will generally be carried out in the corresponding institutions.
For example, welfare homes, street offices, civil affairs bureaus, community centers and so on. However, these institutions are all established. Therefore, even if the society needs it, it is actually difficult to find a place to play their own abilities.
This is also a deformed employment phenomenon. It seems that the market needs it, but it can't find a good interface.
3. "Sociology major" becomes "social work major"
More students majoring in sociology become social workers after graduation. Because the content of study is basically the same as the work of social workers, and there are not many corresponding jobs, social workers can be regarded as the way out for sociology students.
Now, between the government and caring organizations, a new "outsourcing form" has been adopted: the government purchases services, and the government devolves power to "let professionals do professional things". The original welfare homes, street offices and other services have been transformed into more professional social workers because of insufficient manpower, professionalism and skills.
This can be regarded as a bridge between study and employment of sociology majors.
However, the sociology major has also been restricted, and there seems to be no other position to do except exams and social work.
So if you want to study sociology, you must think it over.
