SOC 330 Work in the 21st Century: Career and Identity in the New Economy
This course examines how the nature of work and employment has transformed over the past few decades, and continues to evolve into the 21st century. We will sociologically examine work and workplace cultures in capitalist economies, identifying some of the key causes and consequences of our transition from an industrial to a post-industrial society. We will also examine the relationship between work and our sense of identity. Finally, this course will also examine what it takes to successfully find meaningful work in the new economy, and why the common advice to "follow your passion" may be a recipe for disaster.
