When I went to college, I didn’t know what I wanted to do for my career. I was curious
about just about everything. I took a sociology class because it fulfilled general
education requirements, and I learned that it was possible to study just about anything
from a sociological perspective. This meant I didn’t have to choose! I also wanted
a career where I could help people and make a positive difference in the world, and
it seemed to me then (and still) that sociology is a field where I could focus on
that.
