How does sociology relate to my chosen career as a radiology technician?

We Answered:

Being in the medical field, no matter the profession, you tend to need to be some sort of therapist. You will interact with patients. On the other hand, being a well rounded educated individual is most beneficial when you deal with such a wide range of people with any number of problems. Sociology gives you a better understanding of "where someone is coming from" (figuratively). Helps you with the tools you will need to be sympathetic and understanding of other individuals.

Try this:
Sociology is the study of human societies. It is a branch of social science (often synonymous) that uses various methods of empirical investigation[1][2] and critical analysis[3] to develop and refine a body of knowledge about human social structure and activity, often with the goal of applying such knowledge to the pursuit of social welfare. Its subject matter ranges from the micro level of face-to-face interaction to the macro level of societies at large.

Sociology is a broad discipline in terms of both methodology and subject matter. Its traditional focuses have included social stratification (or "class"), social relations, social interaction, religion, culture and deviance, and its approaches have included both qualitative and quantitative research techniques. As much of what humans do fits under the category of social structure or social activity, sociology has gradually expanded its focus to further subjects, such as the study of the media, health disparities, the internet, and even the role of social activity in the creation of scientific knowledge. The range of social scientific methods has also been broadly expanded. The linguistic and cultural turns of the mid-20th century brought increasingly hermeneutic and interpretative approaches to the study of society. Conversely, recent decades have seen the rise of new mathematically rigorous approaches, such as social network analysis.

The best advice I received when I was choosing my career was...: When you don't have to think of anything, in other words, when your mind is free to do whatever it wants to do... what do you think about? Your answer is your career.

How to use your strengths to help choose a career?

We Answered:

Some technology careers require those qualities. For example, "adaptability" "futuristic" "developer" and "ideation" sound like qualities of a website designer, software engineer, or computer programmer, but "included" does not. So four out of five strengths apply. That sounds like a good match.

What do you like to pay attention to in your spare time? That might hint at careers you will enjoy. I say "enjoy" because that will help you be motivated and succeed.

Visit the different sections of a big book store, not just the stuff you already like. Look at a variety of magazines and books. See what grabs your interest.

You should try lots of things, because it's not immediately obvious whether you will like a given activity; you have to give it some time before you know. Besides, having lots of skills and activities is valuable. Not only does that help you function in life, it also makes you a more interesting and valuable person to know. If you live an interesting and varied life, you will have lots to talk about when socializing.

If your school offers non-required classes in art, computer programming, etc, take those classes.

Maybe join clubs, at school or elsewhere, that exercise skills of some kind.

You should try various hobbies, even if you have no immediate interest in them.

Then, during a school vacation, just before you must apply to colleges and trade schools, do the following:

Think back on the many kinds of activities you've tried in life.

What parts of those activities did you do especially well, whether or not you enjoyed them? Make a list.

What parts of those activities did you truly enjoy, whether or not you did them well? Make a list.

Your ideal job would use the maximum number of items from the two lists combined.

When I say "parts of those activities", I mean things like:
research - compiling facts from different sources
taking devices apart to see how they work
inventing or creating things
writing
talking to people, and figuring out how they think
figuring out how the physical world works
repairing things
and so on.

You also have to consider your personality and temperament. For example, do you need to completely know what you're doing before you first attempt to do it, or are you comfortable just winging it? Do you like to be told what to do, so you don't do anything wrong? Or are you creative and comfortable with confusion, ambiguity, and freedom of choice? Answering those questions lets you guess whether you are suited to any career involving creative effort (art, engineering, writing, computer programming, etc).

Search online for vocational/career test websites. Try them out. The efforts I described above will help you answer their questions.

That's my quick-and-dirty career choosing system. If you want to explore more carefully, you can find entire books about the subject of career and job choice. See your local library or book store.

When you come up with some possible career choices, find books about each one, describing what it's really like and what is really required to succeed. You could look at websites too, but I think books will be more thorough and better researched.

If you are still stumped, after all that research, I guess you could just choose any well-paying and recession-proof career at random. You are like many people, having no idea what career to choose, if that's any comfort.

But you DON'T want to get this wrong, if you can avoid it. Otherwise, you might waste four years and money at a university studying the wrong thing, like I did.
