Sociology graduates can apply for jobs in the census bureau, policy analysis, homeland security, social science analysis, administration and federal agencies. Depending on your skill set, you can also find positions in statistics, research design, data analysis, etc. But, graduation rates are such that most of these spots are taken by those with Masters. In journalism, there are some job chances as well. Studying sociology gives one a fair idea about how the social groups work, it's complications and undercurrents which can make a good journalist. Public relations officer, newspaper or magazine journalist, technical writer, etc. Hope this helps. Best of luck.
