student @ northwestern, unsure of route to go

<p>Hi all, </p>

<p>Just curious what the best route would be. I am changing careers.</p>

<p>I am currently an English Lit Major and Journalism Minor.</p>

<p>I would like to cover political issues, investigative journalism and also write. Focusing in on either NYC or DC for relocation.</p>

<p>I also want to leave myself the most career options.</p>

<p>Unfortunately I am a bit too far along to do the Journalism full major, and some of the classes seem a bit unnecessary for me as I am already a multimedia wiz coming from a web development background.</p>

<p>Would it be OK to cover Politics without a degree in PS?</p>

<p>I am considering switching the major as I have a lot of PS electives, or should I stick with the English major?</p>

<p>I have heard conflicting</p>

<p>Honestly I think I have a good grasp on politics and need more work in writing. I have done Model UN etc... </p>

<p>Thoughts? </p>

<p>Would English plus journalism minor be OK with poli sci electives?</p>

<p>I'm also semifluent in French/Spanish and taking more French as I think I am weak in that.</p>
