Work Environment
An academic environment can be ideal for a sociologist intent on writing and conducting research. If required to teach only a few courses a semester, a sociologist can then devote a good deal of time to his or her own work. And having contact with students can create a balance with the research.
The work of a sociologist takes place mostly in the classroom or at a computer writing reports and analyzing data. Some research requires visiting the interview subjects or setting up an experiment within the community of study.
