About my college education:
Like most of the graduating high school students, I did not know what course to take. I was just checking the application form of different universities and choose from the list of courses that they are offering. So, that was how I ended in AB Sociology.
At first, I did not like the course because it talks about a lot of theories that I did not know how to apply and I did not know the relevance to my life. But as my learning and understanding of the course widened, I finally understood the importance of my course in the society and the skills that I acquired from studying AB Sociology. It was a very interesting course for me because I was able to go to different places and learn different societies’ cultures and traditions, which you cannot do if you take other courses.
In taking AB Sociology you should expect that you will be required to write a lot: from writing a reaction paper to writing research paper. Don’t be afraid, it may sound complicated but practice makes perfect and since you will be required to write a lot of papers you will get the hang of it after some time and will be able to write your researches perfectly. The part of studying AB Sociology that I enjoyed a lot was doing surveys. I did a survey about the effectiveness of a new program introduced to a municipality thru a structured-interview with housewives and presented it to the class.
Just make sure that when deciding what course to take, think first what career you want to pursue and your interests. Because all the courses are difficult in different levels and it takes hard work and passion for you to be able to finish it and get your college diploma!
My current job:
Currently, I am a running my own business.
Am I using what I learned in college:
The things that I learned in Sociology is very significant in my professional career. As a human resource personnel I interact with a lot of people with different backgrounds and I am able to understand our differences because of the learning I had in college.
How long did it take to find a job:
I was a working-student so after graduation it did not take me long to get my first job. I worked as an Human Resource personnel in an international company 1 month after graduation.
Do I recommend studying Sociology:
I would recommend AB Sociology for others to study if they like to interact with other people, if they are open-minded and if they like to go to different place while studying!
