Pay varies with the worker's field, education level, work setting, and experience. Sociologists who have a doctoral degree (PhD) will earn much more than those with a lower degree.
Sociologists who work full time usually receive benefits. Common benefits include sick leave, paid vacation, health insurance, and a retirement plan.
