Lots? You can do careers that are related directly to policy (policy analysis, think tank work, government aide/research assistant for governmental officials). Or you could do something that’s kind of indirectly related to policy depending on what you study (like working as a lobbyist or government liaison for big companies that need people in DC or state government). Or you could do something that’s not even related to policy at all.
What are you interested in?
@juillet I would like to work with the government. Also, how does one become a lobbyist?
Well, there are lots of jobs with the government. What would you like to do for the government? The government hires doctors, lawyers, nurses, accountants, engineers, statisticians, economists, janitors, managers, artists, park rangers, pilots, epidemiologists, historians, analysts, and all kinds of other jobs. You could major in almost anything and work for the government.
Lobbyists usually work for organizations to lobby in government (local, state, and federal) on behalf of the company. For-profit corporations hire lobbyists, but so do nonprofits, think tanks, and NGOs. There’s no specific educational background to become a lobbyist, but most companies like to hire people who already have some experience in government (federal often, sometimes state or local, depending on what kind of lobbying you want to do) because you’re more likely to know who to turn to to get stuff done and how the wheels turn in government. A major that helps you develop good writing and communication skills will be a good one. Public policy could be a good major for a lobbyist!
