society and the different problems and issues. The applied social sciences is utilized to

provide alternative solutions to the diverse problem of the society.

Three main career tracks for applied social scientist:

Counseling is one of the fields of applied social sciences as an application of the social

sciences, counseling provides guidance, help, and support to individuals who are distraught

by a diverse set of problems in their lives.

Counseling can be done by the following:

Guidance counselor and life coaching are applications of the social sciences and these

professions, expert help are given to individuals who needed guidance or advice pertaining to their

business successes, general conditions and personal life transitions, relationships and career.
