What kind of jobs can I get with a BA in Soc/Account/Business? Do they pay well?
Hello!
I am on my way to transferring to a university, and I plan on doing a bachelors degree in sociology, (maybe a masters, big maybe though).
My question is, can I find a job with a BA in Soc that pays entry around 50k, and with 5-10 years into approachs 100k? 80k is perfectly fine.
If not, the fields I mentioned before, accounting/business would they be easier/better with a BA in?
Thank you!

It is highly unlikely that you could find any job that would pay your $50K to start. A sociology major MIGHT set you up to work in sales, marketing or advertising -- after all, those fields are about what makes people tick. Business is so generic, it may or may not lead to any particular job.
All you have to do is go online to a job posting website like Glassdoor and but in BA Accounting plus the city in which you plan to live and you'll get a list of jobs, the requirements, and the salary.

No. Entry level sociology positions start at $30K and max out around $70K with decades of experience. Account is slightly better, but you are unlikely to earn the higher end without advanced certifications/specializations. A general business degree is on par with Sociology.

You are going about this backwards. You don't pick a major and then hope you can find a job.
You research prospective employment and salary and job duties, choose a job for which you want to prepare, and THEN choose the academic program that will best prepare you for that JOB.

Business degree jobs in technology and data-heavy industries are likely to continue growing and will have a high demand for business graduates in the ... What you'd do: There's not much hotel managers don't do—they plan and manage most activities related to the day-to-day operations of the hotels they manage.
