Well, my current job isn't bad, but I wouldn't want to do it for all my life.
I find Sociology interesting, but I realised I wouldn't want to work as a sociologist, doing researches and the likes. Reading some of the books for the exams I had the impression that the authors simply wrote old and already-known concepts in a new way. For example the "Reflex Theory": mass media reflects the violence of real life and real life reflects the violence of mass media and the two influence each other. And you need 50 pages to tell me that? *sigh*
Also, there weren't any post-degree courses I found interesting at the time, so I got my degree and ran out of university. By the way, my university was (and still is) a real mess, so the idea of staying there wasn't really appealing.
