Political Science

<p>If you're not planning on going to law school or planning on doing law, what can you do with a political science degree after your undergrad?</p>

<p>There’s a lot of entry level jobs that don’t require skills gained specifically from a political science degree. If you look around craigslist or monster, you’ll see that a lot of jobs merely require a bachelor’s degree. You start at an entry level position in a field that you’re interested in, and you move up. </p>

<p>If you’re interested in using your degree to its full extent, there are few options at the bachelor’s level. Working for an organization like ACLU or Greenpeace as a canvasser or some sort of coordinator. Working on a political campaign as a coordinator or organizer. The state, local, or federal government. Working as an analyst.</p>

<p>Almost nothing. Your options are very, very limited.</p>

<p>Actually there are going to be virtually no entry level jobs that “just require a degree.” I have no idea where people get this.</p>

<p>I’d recommend coupling statistics and more quantitative research methods with your political science degree, if you can stomach it. That will broaden your horizons for job opportunities.</p>
