[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She should take some math and the hardest statistics classes - sociology can be very quantitative, and she should make sure she has good grades.  [/quote]

This. If she knows a lot of stats, she'll do fine employment wise.[/quote]

What entry level job would she get with a sociology major and statistics courses? [/quote]

Data analyst/research analyst in marketing research.  I hire interns for a marketing research dept and often they are psychology+stats majors and occasionally sociology+stats.[/quote]

A big plus 1 on this. I work in tech and we can’t hire data analytics people fast enough. Enough stats as she can manage including stats programming.  And if she learns so qualitative research skills too (interviewing, ethnography) she will be very well set. [/quote]
I work in data analytics and I agree it is a great, growing field. But it would be exceedingly rare for us to hire a sociology major. Most of our new hires are either specifically data analytics/science majors, or Econ, math, comp sci, applied math, statistics, etc. [/quote]
