I never thought about Economics being a Social Science major, but it makes perfect sense.

Regarding the other social science majors: if I need to get an advanced degree, it may not be worth it unless you have a direct plan.

Here in Canada there is very little demand for Social Science degrees. I would avoid altogether.

Social Science vs Humanities? Where would you place history?

[isaacong]

Is economics social science or business? I know some colleges categorize it as business, while others categorize it as a social science.

Thank you for the deep explanation, my question is, is it a good choice for someone whose willing to become a diplomat ?

I am doing bachelor degree in social science in economics . So what are the job aspects under this course

[mariannepheeb]

Is it wiser in terms of which route would offer more job opportunities down the road, to major in Anthropology or a (more general) Social Science Associates degree? I'm going for my Bachelors in Environmental Studies afterwards. Any feedback would be much appreciated 🙏

Can u work on a nursing degree with a social science degree?

[hunterchio]

So I got a question I'm pretty interested in social science I honestly never believed I would ever even get to think about going to college ya know my life hasn't been the greatest and I'm very poor I don't have alot of money and my family is just as broke but I just got my ged and I want to go further in life. But idk what my possibilities could be with my limited amount of resources basically can I even pursue a social science degree with no money and my test scores on my ged were normal and im.only trying to go to a community College so is it possible for me to even try??

[Thanu-K]

Hi I'm thanusiya. I want to study in USA . I need some informations in student visa.

I don’t think that it would necessarily have to hurt you to have a social science degree, you just need to be careful who you tell about it. I would possibly hire a psychology major but it would be suicidal to hire a woman’s studies or black studies major.

You have no reality's experience in those fields you are giving the presentation about. :)
