What to do with my degree

<p>I have been trying to decide what to do with the majors I will soon graduate with and am looking for some very needed advice. Currently I am a second semester junior double majoring in political science and history. I choose political science because I loved the classes and faculty at my college. History was my original major entering college, but it has become far from my favorite subject; I am mainly keeping it because I have already done so many hours and have always thought that a double major would look valuable on my resume (probably not the best reasoning I know). What my concern now is, what are my choices with my degrees going to be? I love politics and working campaigns; I believe I could be very happy working these campaigns and I do enjoy the pressure and work that goes along with the job but I don't see too much of a future in that without a law degree. I am considering law school and plan to take the lsat next summer. I am also considering getting a masters in political science, which if I do that, I would like to continue to a Ph.D., although teaching has never been what I was interested in doing I would consider it at the college level. Advice of any kind would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.</p>

<p>Wow...Im in the same boat</p>

<p>History majors have gone to law school (in large numbers), business school (in large numbers), medical school (in smaller numbers), dental school, graduate school, and job-hunting. </p>

<p>You have some serious thinking to do about what you want to do. Once you have some solid answers (including, perhaps, a Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C), you can do some research about how realistic those plans are, and adjust them accordingly.</p>
