Your best opportunities are most likely in research. There are a number of public and private organizations that conduct social or behavioral research. You'd start as an entry level research assistant, but that doesn't mean low pay. Usually they want masters level candidates. State and federal agencies need applicants with data management skills and basic (descriptive) analysis skills. I have a MA in sociology and I work for the VA in a research department studying mental health and substance abuse. My pay is competitive. I've just been accepted to a PhD program; I need a PhD in order to be an investigator and conduct research on my own. Search for state or federal agencies and be flexible with your search terms. Social service agencies and non profits will need people with your skill set, but you won't get paid as much. use:https://www.usajobs.gov/ and search on your state job website.
