Hi I'm new on this forum, and am desperately looking for guidance. This year I am finishing the third yeard of my degree in Sociology and Economics in Paris. I never really planned on finishing it I just thought something else would turn up and I would change course, now I'm realising that nobody really wants to hire a sociology graduate. I think my resume is overall ok: I'm fluent in French and English, I've had part-time and full time jobs in gardening, farming, fast fodds and am currently employed in a center for autistic children on weekends. I am hoping to do some sort of course that would specialise my sociology and economics towards marketing or business, or anything that would get me a job I suppose. I'm hoping to end up in something dynamic and competitive because I have a lot of energy and I am very resourceful. I am resident in France but have Us and british dual nationalities. If anyone has any ideas for a school or course or even a career, I would be very very grateful.
Thanks for all and any help
Harry

This seems to be a common theme among people your age right now: Fear that once you graduate, there will be no jobs for you.You need to find the balance between finding something you love and something that will pay the bills.  Being a responsible adult and citizen mean taking responsibility for yourself, which includes finding a way to be a productive member of society with a steady job that pays the bills.  At the same time, the career path you choose could be the path you remain on for the rest of your life, so CHOOSE WISELY!The best advice I can give is to find an industry that interests you and can challenge you at the same time.  Perhaps you like interacting with people, so a position in sales may be a good fit.  I know many individuals who chose the path that made the most money or gave them the most notoriety, and it cost them their overall happiness. Good luck!
