Working Conditions
Most sociologists work in research organizations, colleges and
universities, and state and local government.
Sociologists usually spend a large part of their day in pleasant
offices, libraries, and classrooms.
At times, however, sociologists are likely to do some fieldwork
that may involve traveling to remote areas or interviewing
people from many different backgrounds.
Therefore, sociologists should be able to work independently
and also know how to interact with the wide variety of people
that they are likely to meet in their work.

Most Famous Sociologist:
Karl Marx is a philosopher, social scientist,
historian and revolutionary. He is without a
doubt the most influential socialist thinker to
emerge in the 19th century. Although he
was largely ignored by scholars in his own
lifetime, his social, economic and political
ideas gained rapid acceptance in the
socialist movement after his death in 1883.
