Here are career options for social science as followed:

Social Studies Teacher
Teaching social studies is one option for the social science major. Most states require certification of teachers within the broader category of “social studies” rather than certification in just one subject like history or geography. Pursuing a social science major can provide teachers with a well-rounded background that informs teaching practice from variety of perspectives including sociology and psychology. Teaching generally requires a minimum of a bachelor’s degree and that the teaching candidate pass a certification exam or series of exams required by their state’s board of education. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, secondary education teachers made a median salary of $ 52,200, as of May 2009.    Read more...
