Social science or law?!?!

Hi guys, i looked at the course description and it aligned quite well with my interests. Ive also applied to law for the majority of my choices. I feel like I’ll enjoy social science more cuz it’s tailored more to what i like whereas law - only certain fields like human rights/criminal are interesting. I just dont know what i would do with a social science degree - and career?? Aside from converting to law, it would be great to know career options which social science can offer.

I encourage you not to think of degree subjects simply in terms of future career options. Outside a few fields such as (for example) medicine and architecture, any degree can lead to more or less any job.

Yes I agree, however I do not know what I want to do as a career and it’s hard not to think about this If i like social science as a subject, what career would most suit this preference?

You might pursue an academic career, or look at think tankery, polling, marketing, or management consultancy.

A think tank publishes public policy proposals. Most think tanks are politically aligned. Polling analyses public opinion on political and other issues
