Try thinking outside the box. You can do so many things with sociology, you should look into municipalities. Larger towns are usually hiring for SOMETHING, pay higher than most jobs available, great benefits, and generally (depending on what dept) a decent schedule with overtime available. I work as a police/fire/EMS dispatcher full time, work at least 30 hours overtime in a pay period, go to school part time, and I'm a single mom. I got this job when I was 19 with my GED, I've been here for 3 years now, I get paid more than almost all people my age, even with a degree, I get paid vacation/sick time, and now after 3 years I have 3 people under me in seniority, so I have job security.

I know it's not ideal, but it's an idea most overlook. And someone with a degree would surely surpass most, even some with experience. Even if you don't work in the public safety area, the dang water dept secretary gets paid more than me lol. Good luck, hope it all works out for you. In a few years I'll have my degree and no idea what to do with it lol.
