How much do sociologists earn?
Professors with a Doctorate at a state university earn about 60,000 to start. Professors teach, do research, teach students to do research, write proposals, get grant money, do projects, present studies in professional journals, publish books, publish articles, join contests, help students compete, And there is ongoing education that has to be done every year. Sociologists study people, they formulate a hypothesis, start a research project, make observations, gather data, keep meticulous records of everything they see, hear and feel, and then present the results. Sometimes they get results that are opposite of the hypothesis statement, and sometimes they are right on. But their outcomes can be linked to all the other studies done on the same subject.
