In my experience, a BA in Social Science isn't useful on it's own, except for a school teacher.  You would need a Master's degree in something more specific (Clinical Psychology, Counseling, Social Work) to really get anywhere.\n\nI recommend doing a career counseling program.  A good one involves psychological tests, lots of reading and studying about potential careers, and answering hard questions about yourself.  That will help with future plans.

I dont think Diplomacy is a degree, I think what you are looking for may be Political Science, or some sort of international relations degree, you can major in political science just about anywhere, international relations degrees are a little harder to find, its best just to find a schools website and see if they offer it.

Several colleges and universitites offer on-line degree programs.  Avoid private institutions, check with the local college or university in your area.  Most good programs require at least some in-class participation.\n\nOn the other hand if you are just looking for the "piece of paper" there are lots of degree mills that have little or no requirements other than $

Usually it is best in the practice of marine research, but one could become an adviser on marine impact issues for companies or the government or one could just get a job unrelated to their degree, very few jobs necessitate that someone has a particular degree - it is simply important to have one.

well, you will have job security in both, as there will always be a need for both\n\nboth are means /ways to help people\n\nnursing pays more,,,,, the  hours may be longer and weekends and nights \n\nsocial services takes more education, a Masters, to really move up in salary, even then, its one of the lower paying jobs, the hours can often be your Monday-Friday days\n\nfor each one you need both the desire to help people, develop the ability to handle/deal with people during trying situations, and a understanding that you wont be able to help all, and a tolerance to deal with the situations you encounter day in and day out without burning out.\n\nwith all that said, while they have things in common, they are two totally different  areas, you will need to find out, with help from your counseling center and also maybe some internships or volunteer work, which your best suited for

I would go to my campus career advisors and make them find me an apprentice (private practice, group provider practice, social service agency, church ministries etc.) type job. At the least they can point you to potential employers of graduates with this degree.  Your degree program should prepare you to graduate as a LICENSED therapist.  There are lots of unlicensed therapists with Masters degrees in counseling.  Unless they are writing books they can't practice as licensed therapists.  It is extremely difficult to secure a paid position without a license.  All college career advisors should know this.  No degree program is worth its salt if its graduates are not prepared to practice their craft in that state.  All states require a license to practice therapy.

I admire you for wanting to help out with that!  As far as how you can make a CAREER out of that... that is tough to say.  Check into the government welfare program, food banks, transitional housing, and all those other resources that are designed to help those in need.  I think a lot of the people who help with that are volunteers, but I believe that there are a few paid positions as well.

Sociology is a great option! \n\nAny undergrad degree in the arts and letters is good choice if she wants a graduate degree in Criminology.\n\nAs for careers, she can work as a counselor in a correctional facility or a state hospital. She can work as a counselor for a county agency. She can work for the government, be it local, state or federal.
