If you're interested in sociology then yes a degree in it is worth doing.

There is always the option to do further education (masters, Ph.D.)
you could train to become a sociology teacher or lecturer. It can also lead to the police force, where you can do an accelerated course for graduates, where it is possible to become an inspector after 5 years.

Many jobs just ask for a degree and they don't stipulate the subject.
In this case, a sociology degree would be fine.
It is however difficult to see what careers actually demand a sociology degree unless you are wanting to go in for teaching.
Sociology graduates often go for people-focused careers such as social work, counselling and careers advice
Sociology is the study of people and how we interact with one another. Students learn topics such as culture, religion and identity, as well as getting to grips with the theories of thinkers such as Karl Marx and Max Weber.
Having a good understanding of human relationships can be a bonus in a range of careers, which is probably why sociology graduates can be found across all sectors including the media and arts.
Sociology graduates leave university with a broad range of transferable skills. These include being able to work to deadlines, make reasoned arguments and think creatively.
Understanding people within society can also be useful in careers such as market research, retail management, the police force and journalism
Good luck!
