Questions I need to ask myself?

• Why am I here?
• Why Sociology?
• How is Sociology pertinent to what I want to do? Is it historic? Is it new?
• Do I want to make a difference in the community?
• What are my learning objectives?
• What kinds of dream jobs can this get me?
• Where do I start looking?
• Can I make a difference and earn at the same time?
• Where do I begin looking?
