hi. I have been directed to this subreddit.

i am 19M. I have had identity issues since puberty (and i have repressed myself a lot during high school) and i still struggle but thanks to therapy and a gap year dedicated to self-reflection i am a bit better and i will very likely switch my undergrad to sociology. i wanted to switch to sociology partially because it seems like a major that won't restrict me on choosing an area of interest, identity and my social skills are subpar, I thought sociology could help in this manner. it also plays to my strengths unlike my previous degree which demanded a skillset that I didn’t have.

now, by picking sociology a lot of different paths and areas of interest open up and i do want to try out all of them for they all sound interesting and I want to learn as much as I can. some examples i could give (but not limited to) are cognitive sociology, urban sociology, sociology of medicine…

as for areas i would want to work in academia seems inevitable (and i wouldn't mind academia honestly) but i also want to work in more "fieldwork" areas as well.

and that's why the title is such. if i want to live a life that i could classify "fulfilling" i need to completely forego stability as in settling down and starting a family (I don’t think I could do that anyway, I am not good at giving people the attention they need.) I also don’t want a a career to dedicate my entire life towards. What I mean by that is I want to switch what I am doing every so often. i would like to add are i am already a workaholic person and i am not in the degree to make money.

In light of all of this, how could I use my 20’s?

thank you for reading my post.

hello. I have a question to ask that got removed from seriousconversation and didn't garner any attention on advice. I want to ask how can I approach my 20's after recently discovering that I don't want a stable life and a 9-5 career. Which sub can I do it in? The full post I am seeking to find a subreddit for can be seen here

I’ve recently realised that I tend to create art opposite to my mood (regardless of it’s type.) And I didn’t find anyone else like me that could make me understand why I have this tendency. One explanation I thought of is that it makes me feel otherwise-absent feelings and thus reach emotional equilibrum once again. I don’t know if this is really the case. I had wondered if there was a “scientific” reason for this. Have a nice day.

Hello. I have decided to pivot to sociology for I wasn’t able to handle the social workload of film school. This was because it required me to talk to people often and without any sort of script I can’t talk. I can’t talk spontaneously and I lacked an interest in film anyway. I have recently thought of pivoting to Sociology for:

• Primarily, I want a “broad” degree. I really like learning and Sociology seems broad enough to learn all sorts of things. Job market isn’t very important for me as a result

• It’s related to politics and my focused interests do heavily collide with politics and also Sociology as well. (If I had to list them, I would say public transit and urban design.)

• I find debating with people to be an easier way to communicate.

• I like observing people.

• I like writing.

• I would like to engage in a variety of fields. Would these reasons make me a good fit for Sociology? It’s probably a stupid question to ask, but seeing this subreddit made me wonder.

selamlar. Ben sosyolojiye yatay geçiş yapmayı düşünüyorum. 2024 yks’de eşit ağırlık puanım 321. Bunla hangi üniversitelerin sosyoloji bölümüne girmemi önerirsiniz? Bilgi sosyoloji düşündüm (%50 burslu, tam bursu henüz üniyle konuşmadım) sizce nasıldır? Akademik kadro, dersler, yurtdışı imkanlarına göre yorumlarsanız sevinirim.
