from your post, it sounds like your real passion is in brewing and/or iron smithing. i would do that.

sociology training is interesting, but what you will end up with is very much a function of the department at the school you decide to attend. alot of american sociology departments really aren't that interesting, particularly at the level of theory. but in this, it really depends on exactly what kind of thing you'd like to pursue. so while it may sound strange to say this, i would treat an undergraduate degree at bit like one does looking for a graduate program---try to be sure that the faculty in the department you're thinking about does the sort of work that you're interested in. you may not find sociology to be the most congenial field--history routinely cribs methodologies from sociology and/or anthropology for example.
