#7: Getting a job as a sociologist

Episode 7 won't help you pass your exams, but it might help you get a job as a sociologist! In this episode Ben discusses what you need to do to help you become a sociologist, how you can use what you learn in lessons/lectures in 'the real world', what an average day in the life of a working sociologist is like, and signposts towards companies you may want to look into.  Ben worked as a professional sociologist / researcher for eight years. Four of these were as a social researcher working on behalf of the UK government. A further four years were spent doing qualitative research for some of the biggest brands in the UK.
