Hey guys this is for a few friends of mine. If you went to college and are about to graduate with a Poly Sci degree what kind of job would be good to get? With the way the job market is I can't help them. Can you guys help out?


thanks in advance

A whole lot goto law school. Other law school students are pre-med students who couldn't get into med school.

I didn't learn jack as a poli sci major. And definately nothing that would get me a job.

Go work in the IT field...heck that is what I did with my Polisci major and so far it has worked out well :) two years at NASA and who knows what the future holds :) good luck

I agree with Law School also, that was my initial plan but then later in life I decided it was not for me..got a job on campus working a help desk and that was all the experience I needed for my first IT position.
