ABSTRACT
Recent years have been stressful for sociology as a discipline. Many sociologists sense that all is not well (Cole 1994, p. 129). Journalists and others have alleged that sociology lacks intellectual integration. Moreover, compared to the other social sciences, underemployment was more com mon among sociology/anthropology Ph.D.’s from 1973 through 1989, and median earnings declined more and revived less strongly in sociology than in other fields during this period (Roos and Jones 1993).
