What can I do with a Political Science major ?

<p>Hello there,</p>

<p>I'm in a special undergraduate program, currently in my second semester of freshman year in France; and I'll be studying in Columbia University for my junior and senior year - I get to choose my major at Columbia and have a Columbia degree like a normal student.</p>

<p>I love Economics and Poli Sci, but especially Political Science. I wish to take the double major Poli Sci/Economics, but I do, I won't be able to take a Religion minor (I'm a huge Religion buff, loved it since age 13) because it would be too expensive for my folks, and also, it would take me an additional semester to complete every course.</p>

<p>I thus told myself I would take a PoliSci major and a Religion minor, but when I told that to my parents, they yelled at me by saying I should do the double major or either take a Econ major/Religion minor. They absolutely want me to get a job at any cost, even if it means for me that I'll study something I like less.</p>

<p>I'm currently studying Macroeconomics in France and it's so hard for me as a subject...I take more time than the other students to understand concepts. Whereas in PoliSci, I feel very at ease and everything sounds easy to me.</p>

<p>I thus would like to know what I could do with a PoliSci major ? What career prospectives (except politician ew) ? Are there companies who hire PoliSci majors ? How does it work ? Will I be able to find a job ?
Any PoliSci majors that could give me some info ? Thanks!</p>

<p>There’s nothing specifically that poli sci would prepare you for. If you wanted to major in poli sci, you would should definitely have good internships and classes in an area in which you would want to work in (which anyone should do regardless of major). </p>
