I have a BA in German and History. Where to next?
Sociology sounds attractive.
What do I understand by sociology? The state of society today. Social issues: poverty, demographics, environment, prostitution, globalisation. Combines methodology and thought from history, statistics, philosophy, anthropology, science. A holistic approach to studying the issues of today. Perfect for journalism? The role of technology, modernisation.
Isn't Frankfurt a.M. the best place to study it? It's where the Frankfurt School of the Sixties was based, surprisingly enough. Horkheimer, Habermas, Adorno, Marcuse usw.
It would probably take 2 years to get a Masters here, whereas I could get one in a year in England. Expanding one's mind takes time though, and writing and debating in German would certainly be great practice.
Will post my further research on this later.
