“Sociology Degree Salary in California. $57,700 is the 25th percentile. Salaries below this are outliers. $81,900 is the 75th percentile.“
So starting salary for sociology degree is 25th percentile. That is bottom 25th. Not saying job is “worthless” or you can’t make a good salary with it, but my education and social circles makes me believe that 25% is below average.
However, my real point was that Sociology with a minor in Gender Studies (as an example) is a better way to have similar education while providing better opportunities as “The typical early career salary for someone with a bachelor’s degree in gender studies is $28,707, and within five years of graduation, this average salary goes up to $47,704.”
So I was encouraging people to get Sociology degrees with minors/focus as I believe it provides greater options and opportunities. This is in light of the removal of degrees from the OP discussion.
Sorry if my original point was unclear causing you to get defensive and jump into personal ad hominem attacks.
