外界對社會系畢業生有刻版印象，如無所不能：因沒有專長，只能考公務員或拉保險；或只會批判社會、上街頭。
這些刻版印象都有道理，但只是社會系畢業生眾多樣貌中的少數幾種，而且這也是眾多學科都有的少數樣貌。造成誤解的原因，主要來自社會學（系）的三個特性：
1. 社會學領域的多樣性：社會學有不同的次領域，多數社會學者只專長少數次領域，故社會系學生的職涯規劃通常受到該系師資專長和課程特色的影響，而往如人力資源管理、健康照護服務、文創事業、社會企業、非營利事業、社會倡議或公教人員等特定方向尋找出路。
2. 核心訓練的基礎性：社會學的核心訓練著重觀察、分析、論述、溝通和批判思考的能力，這類基礎能力沒有明確對應的職場選項，但卻是提升其他專業能力的重要條件，且因升學主義和技職取向而缺乏訓練，因而有無所不能卻無所專精的矛盾印象。
3. 社會學知識的泛用性：社會學知識主要涉及人的社會性，這種知識是許多無特殊門檻且與人有關之行業和職業要求的基本素養。所以社會學是社會行政類公務員考試的必考科目；許多科技公司也開始招募社會學、人類學等人文社會科領域畢業生。
理解社會系畢業後可以做什麼，最好的方式就是看社會系學生畢業後做些什麼。
The outside world has an impression of graduates of social systems, as if nothing can be done: because there is no senior, they can only take the civil service exam or get a security exam; or they can only criticize society and go to the streets.
These engraving impressions all make sense, but they are only a few of the many appearances of graduates in the social system, and they are also a few of the appearances that are found in many subjects. The reasons for the error mainly come from three characteristics of social science (department):
1. Diversity of social science fields: Social science has different sub-regions, and most social students only have a few specialized areas. Therefore, career planning for social department students is usually affected by the department's senior and course characteristics, and in particular directions such as human resource management, health care services, cultural and creative industries, social enterprises, non-profit industries, social advocacy or public education staff, they find a way out.
2. Basic nature of core training: The core training of social science focuses on the ability to observe, analyze, comment, communication and critical thinking. This type of basic training does not have a clear job selection, but is an important condition for improving other professional abilities. It lacks training due to the academic theory and technical orientation, so it has the contradiction that there is nothing to do without being specialized.
3. The generalization of social knowledge: Social knowledge mainly involves the social nature of people. This kind of knowledge is the basic element of many industry and professional requirements that are not special and related to people. Therefore, social science is a compulsory subject for social administrative vocational officers; many technology companies have also begun to recruit graduates in the humanities and social science fields such as social sciences and humanities.
The best way to understand what you can do after graduating from a social system is to see what students do after graduating from a social system.
