<p>What can I do with a political science degree, assuming that I'm not going to law school?</p>
<p>Hmmmmm......thats a toughie. Considering most PS major (including myself) are planning to go to law school. Ask an advisor or others in your major.</p>
<p>Google on "political science major." You will find descriptions such as this one: <a href="http://www.eiu.edu/%7Epolisci/career.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.eiu.edu/~polisci/career.htm</a></p>
<p>I guess the other big career path for political science is government or IR. I'm not a poli. sci. major but I will be in a masters program in IR next year and currently intern at a think tank in DC and in both cases, many of my colleagues are or were poli. sci. majors.</p>
<p>I'm a poli sci major, and I want to become a campaign advisor for politicians. This is probably a pretty specific career goal, but I really love the political process, I'd also love to work within an administration if it fit with my values. My other thought is actually to become a police officer, but that's a personal thing, not anything to do with my major.</p>
<p>I'm majoring in poli sci and I want to be a political journalist. You would be suprised, but many journalists actually have political science degrees. For example, Anderson Cooper.</p>
