Bachelors degree woes
Hello, I'm 22 and a small built female. I add small built because it'll play into my question later.
I graduated with my bachelors degree in sociology and psychology a little over a year ago. I'm working in a daycare now to get experience with children. However, the place I am at now, I had put my two weeks in. This place is just very poorly ran, my boss lost a child the other day, the director and assistant director leave to go shopping together all the time, they tell us to lie to parents on progress reports so I just felt that I needed to get out. So, on Friday at the end of this current week, I will be unemployed. I have enough money saved, I live at home still and my car is paid off so I'm not really financially worried. The only thing that worries me is finding a job. Thus far, the only jobs I've been finding are ones where I would need to travel into people's homes and like I had earlier said, that makes me very uncomfortable because I am small and god forbid, if anything happens, I don't know if I could defend myself. Plus, my own dad even said it would worry him to see me going to work everyday knowing things like that could happen.
So my question is: does anybody know of a job that I could look into that would entail me NOT going into people's homes and invading their space that requires a bachelors degree in sociology and psychology? I do plan on going back for my masters within the next upcoming semester but in the meantime, I would like to get experience under my belt.
Thank you so much!

Have you tried the local hospital(s). Social workers are used in hospitals for a variety of reasons. Your sociology degree would help you there.
Also my wife worked for a Mental Health Company that handled the mental health portions of many major insurance companies. They used social workers to do patient reviews with hospitals and review treatment plans with clinicians for approval of treatment.
Private message me with the state, the state only please, that you live in. If her company has an office in that state I will respond with the company name and location of the office. I warn you that they are notoriously low pay though they will underwrite your continuing educational costs.

Hiya! Dr.D here!
Oh, I love sociology and psychology! to me it is so interesting. But the thing about sociology is that, its not really used in any jobs today. Unless your working for the history channel where yea, its a big deal. Well actually I take that back. I would delete what I said but my backspace button is broken. but anyways, there are jobs, they dont pay much, but they give something. Sociology and psychology are often used by historians. To figure out viewing points of minds centuries to eons ago. But thats all I could get for a job with physiology and sociology. But I just looked up some jobs that involve physiology and I got this website so check it out:
