From, somebody like myself, who has a master's degree in sociology, I would recommend that you avoid getting your master's in sociology unless of course you want to get your PhD and teach or you have a specific job in mind that would require you to or you would get a raise if you had your master's . Employers are scared by those with a Master's unless it is required, they consider you to be overqualified and are reluctant to hire you out of the fear that you will leave as soon as you find something better paying. I got my master's in 2006 and it is 2008 almost 2009 and I am doing residential care for $9 per hour and am 80k in debt for student loans because I cannot find a job. If I could go back I definitely would not have even majored in sociology. I would recommend social work because there are more options with that degree and you can get licensed. It really depends on what career you have in mind. I understand that everybody's experience is different, but I would really think hard but why you would need a master's and why exactly you want to major in sociology, specifically what job you would want to get. Sociology is a fascinating field, i loved my classes, but it led me absolutely nowhere.

AnswerA bachelors degree certainly isn't worth much in the job market. A masters at least gets you a job.
