    Which degree shall I choose?...
    Which degree out of these two....?
    I have so many interests and I want to work with people in my career. I want a degree I can apply to all careers. Which in your opinion is the valuable one?

    I just graduated with a Sociology degree (with crimo) and I did a Psychology module first year as well (really easy). Comp Science and HRM is much more valuable than the previous degree.

    Will have much more luck with finding a job with the second one, not to insult randomgeeza but sociology seems to have low employment rates (after 6 months that is) wherever you go.

    No offence taken, but yeah you are right. I enjoyed my time at uni studying Sociology/Criminology but now the job market is really tough and I am seriously considering doing a MSc in HR Management.

    I did geography and am thinking about HR also, I really don't want to shell out for a post-grad though Really really wish I had done employment experience in my degree!
