<p>I mean, what can you really do with a political science degree that you can't do with another degree?</p>
<p>according to payscale.com, mid-career median salary for poly-sci is 80k. That’s respectable, considering how many people, who may not all be elite minds, have degrees in it</p>
<p>Well, a lot of them become lawyers. But you can become a lawyer with just about any degree as long as you go to law school.</p>
<p>True, but it would, if nothing else, prepare you better for law school. Also, the lawyer field is way over-saturated and for every big-shot lawyer that everybody aspires to be, there are 20 lawyers working long hours in crap jobs making less than $15-20 an hour.</p>
<p>There are no useless majors…</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s useless at all, if you’re going into politics…tons of people major in it if they want to get into law school, and I’ve heard it’s a little more useful if you double major with econ or business.</p>
