RESOURCES
What I like about Social Science is the balance of industry-specific technical know-how with career-critical soft skills: written and verbal communications, research and dissemination, time and conflict management, etc.
For social science students who are currently exploring career options, I would highly recommend pursuing experiential opportunities to enhance their profile through real-work experiences.
As many industries are changing how they conduct business, the numerous skills/knowledge learned is unparalleled: research methods, statistical knowledge, and soft skills.
