Anonymous asked: I'm a Psychology major and Sociology minor in college but was considering double majoring because my school has this great 5 year program to earn your BA and MA. I was wondering what kind of jobs are out there forsomeone with an MA in Sociology? On an unrelated note, can you give some book reccomendations? Like, top 5 books everyone interested in Sociology should read? Thanks!
