Another great resource is the Career and Education Guidance Library , located at 2220 Bancroft Way, 642-2367. This library has a lot of books and publications on occupations, career fields and graduate schools. It also has two computer assisted career guidance systems. Or you may decide to do an internship or summer job in a career field that sounds interesting. These experiences may help you discover what kind of things do or do not interest you, bringing you closer to a career decision that's right for you.
Many students use their education in sociology as preparation for further studies.
At the bachelors level, sociology graduates have a wide variety of career options to choose from. About 10 years ago, a survey of UCB sociology alumni from 1980-85 was conducted. The survey asked alumni to describe their career activities since graduation. A handout which lists some of the occupations our graduates are employed in is available in the Department. We also have several career planning booklets available for students to look at, and suggestions for appropriate websites on the internet.
