Hello,

Does anyone know of studies involving the prestige of sociology?  I think i
would be more interested in the publics perception of sociology broken down
by specialties.  One would assume that the more applied specialties would
have more prestige than those that are not, but it would be cool to see if
that was actually true.  I know that places like the GSS have occupational
prestige scales, but i can not now think of any other measures (in the
lit.).
