BA in sociology. I might like to go to grad school for social psychology. I also saw a MA program in community planning that looked like it had interesting coursework but im not sure to what type of job that would lead me. Thanks to everyone who has given me advice.

I know that to be a professor I would have to get my PhD. But I thought in most programs you have to get your masters and then move on to a Phd. To finish a Phd i think it would be like 4 or 5 years? I might just try to contact one of my old professors or something to see if they can help me out. Maybe if I enter on the Phd tract I could get a better stipend even though I have to get the MA first? I think the deadline for grad school is like december 1st so I dont have much time and I have never taken/studied for the gre

I hope this is the right place to post this. Ive been searching around the internet looking for info but cant find what i'm looking for so i thought id post here to see if anyone could help me. Im a 23/m with a wife and small child. I graduated college a year ago with nearly a 4.0 gpa. I spent the last year and a half at home to be with my child. I dont want to get into specifics, but right now my wife cant work and it may be awhile before she can again. Ive just started looking for a job. Im pretty down right now because i hate the process of finding a job and based on what ive seen i dont think i will be happy with anything i find. For a long time ive thought that id like to be a teacher/professor or do research or something and i am confident that i could be successful in that role. I would like to pursue a masters in a social science field. Also, I dont have any debt but i dont have any savings either. So my question: Is it realistic financially for me to be able to go back to grad school? Like what options would there be for me so that i could go and still make sure that my family is taken care of? Could i get loans to cover all our expenses, work/study, etc. I just feel completely lost right now because all the information ive seen only applies to individuals. I would appreciate any advice i can get. Thank you.
