<p>What after political science degree?how to turn a political science degree into a profitable career?</p>
<p>Like many majors you’ll find at universities, this one doesn’t translate right away to any career, much less a profitable one. </p>
<p>Many political science students go on to graduate school to study law, public administration, etc., others to onto completely unrelated fields.</p>
<p>Most of them goto graduate school. Political scientists do very well in the US. According to the US government, average political scientists earn $99k a year.</p>
<p>What chances do I have with political science degree? Is there any chance for me as foreign person to find a job with that degree without graduate school.</p>
<p>Could you tell me what political science student mostly sign up except law which is to expensive and it last for to long.</p>
<p>As we mentioned before – an undergraduate degree in political science doesn’t prepare you for any SPECIFIC career. Most people who study it either end up in completely different fields or go onto graduate school or law school. Below is a web site on the subject. As you’ll see many of the jobs discussed on it require a graduate degree.</p>

<p>Thank you for the link. There are a large number of jobs that one can do with only bachelor’s degree in political science. Graduate school gives further advantages, but it cost more and last longer, I ask myself can bachelor’s degree be enough?</p>
<p>Enough for what? A bachelor’s will be enough for a job in retail… or working as a waiter… or flipping hamburgers. I assume that’s not what you want. Problem is, you ask the same question over and over. And no one can give you a solid answer because there isn’t one. An undergraduate political science degree isn’t much more useful than, for example, a degree in literature. But somehow people with literature degrees do get jobs. It’s a matter of being able to market yourself, being creative in your job hunt, and being lucky. Same with political science.</p>
<p>I am confused, please help me understand how it is possible that person with university degree ends up selling sandwiches at the street. I can understand that people without education have difficulties to find a job, but people with high education? I ask this because I don’t have lots of money so I have to be assured that I have chances with bachelor’s degree. ;)</p>
<p>In the US (as most capitalist countries) there isn’t anything like “assurance” that you will get a job, much less a good job. Many new graduates end up doing menial work at least for a while before they find a real job. Part of that is cultural: in America, people believe that any job is better than no job at all, and there’s little stigma to working low-level job temporarily. </p>
<p>To increase your odds of starting a real career right out of college, you should consider studing something very concrete and professional in orientation: accounting, engineering, etc. But in a tough economy plenty graduates in these fields don’t find work right away either. And that could be especially the case if you graduate with a degree like political science.</p>
<p>I’ve got you; I understand that I have better chances with something practical like finance than with something theoretical like political science.</p>
<p>But what do you think is it better to study something that you don’t like but you have better chances for finding a job, or is it better to study something that you really like.</p>
<p>
That’s really a decision you have to make for yourself.</p>
<p>You probably would not want to study something you are not interested in if it leads to a job that you are not interested in either. Maybe look at it from a career perspective: what is it that you want to do after college? Will a political science major prepare for that career or might a more practical major be a better fit?</p>
<p>op’s just looking for a major that guarantees a job after he/she/it(?) graduates. i think that’s pretty clear from every post in this thread lol</p>
<p>I don’t need a job, since I’m going to work up there, but after some time I would like to change a profession, so I wander would I be able with political science degree find get a work.</p>
<p>Considering your advices it is not possible, but it is something I’m interesting in, and I would like to work in public administration or nonprofit organizations or something with human rights or for some political parties.</p>
<p>Guys What do you think about professional school for specialized professional training as opposed to academic study from which you can engage to diplomacy and international relationships?</p>
<p>Are those schools recognized by employers? They give practical knowledge much better than political science degree.</p>
<p>How much are grades important and does anyone care about grades? In my country employers don’t look for grades, only how long did someone spend studding.</p>
<p>Hey guys I have one more question could someone after aa level in political science go to something else for example at some curs in technical science or you are oblige with the choice you made at start?</p>
<p>Do you mean – can you switch fields after you earn a two year associate’s degree?
If that’s your question, the answer is yes. You can pick a different major or take other courses as you finish your major. But if you pick a totally different major, it will probably take you longer than the usual two years to complete your bachelor’s degree.</p>
<p>So it is possible to change major subject, can please explain why would I need more time for that?</p>
<p>What teacher of political science has to finish. Do pupils take political science at high school or that course is only at university?</p>
