In addition, American diplomas are recognized worldwide, so qualified professionals with excellent command of English can count on employment not only in the US, but also in other countries. However, consider what wages await young professionals in America…
In the US, the work of a sociologist is considered prestigious and highly paid.
So, at the initial stage, sociologists receive a salary of about $25,000 per year, and after 5-7 years of work, the salary of experienced sociologists usually reaches $60,000 per year. Social workers earn slightly less, with salaries ranging from $20,000 to $40,000 for experienced professionals.
Note that the highest paid social work is in medical institutions, including psychiatric clinics and hospices, as well as in private counseling and geriatrics. Women in the US make up 60% of the total number of workers in such positions.
Graduates who complete a minor in social media and marketing jobs in America have greater opportunities for specialization and career advancement. Salaries also vary from $20,000 to $80,000, depending on experience and employer.
