I graduated from college six years ago with a B.A. in Political Science. What should I do with my life?
>>74168597
Well you're about 28 now, what have you been up to since graduating?
>>74168597
>political "science"
Kill yourself.
>>74168597
you need friends with a degree like that
my cousin majored in it and hes doing alright with it now, but hes not working in whatever field ur supposed to with that polisci degreee
>>74168597
What subfield? Security's back in vogue, as is International Relations in general. If you picked your PoliSci classes like you were going into pre-Law, kill yourself and try again.
>>74168597
Head over to McDonald's, they're usually hiring this time of year.
my ex has a polisci degree
she's a substitute second grade teacher
also a dumb cunt
>>74168597
Email jeb and ask to intern? He seems like a nice guy.
Did anybody tell you Political Science is literally Social Science renamed because no one was taking them seriously?
Did you bother at all to look into what the fuck it was you were studying?
>>74168840
This. I worked as a guac merchant for 6 months, and now I'm on fast track to being a Mexican diplomat.
>>74168597
Become an immigration officer.
Question shitskins all day.
I became a paralegal for seven years. Currently doing warehouse work that pays more. Have gotten very fit. Thinking of becoming a firefighter. Many cities are hiring with the boomers retiring.

>>74168632
a parade of shitty temporary and part-time jobs. I'm currently substitute teaching
>>74168597
Finished in 2014, selling cellphones now. Im going into law, fuck this shit.
>>74168733
>subfield
General Political Science. My dental hygienist gave me the same warning back in the day
>>74168905
I switched from an even more bull-shitty major half way through back when I was a heavy marijuana smoker because I thought it would improve my chances at a job
>>74168970
I actually went back to school and got a paralegal certificate, but I haven't found a paralegal job and honestly the work sounds awful and would be just about the worst job for me I think with the amount of organizational skills required.
I should probably just become a warehouse worker.
>>74169894
I will never do sales.
>>74170111
a lot of money in telecommunications desu. Wish id done business or finance or soem shit
>>74168905
it really is
I could debate circles around my ex just from being a /pol/tard for years and /n/ before that
she had absolutely zero understanding of global or national politics, economics at a basic level, history, etc. I would be surprised if she could find Denmark on a map. I was astounded at her complete lack of well, political knowledge, for a person with a political science degree.
I honestly have no idea what she spent all that time learning but it had nothing to do with politics. I got a better education than her for free just by shitposting.
on the topic of "science",
alright I can accept calling computer science a science. They apply the scientific method maybe somewhere and they do a lot of math(academic-wise).
But fucking christ stop it already, stop calling your liberal criclejerk sessions "science".
>>74169923
Go back and retake your degree. If you're going to pick Political Science again, pick IR. If your college doesn't offer an IR major, transfer to one which does.
>>74168597
end it
>>74170265
Political Science isn't about current event politics. The good stuff is about how political institutions function (or don't,) and how leaders are pressured in various ways to make choices which may not be optimal but are politically viable.
>alright I can accept calling computer science a science. They apply the scientific method maybe somewhere and they do a lot of math(academic-wise).
Some subfields of Political Science use the scientific method and they pull and analyze shitload of statistics, but the discipline is very heavily polluted with people who want to push an agenda. There are some serious gems in this field if you know where to look, though.

>>Political Science isn't about current event politics. The good stuff is about how political institutions function (or don't,) and how leaders are pressured in various ways to make choices which may not be optimal but are politically viable.
good way to word 'useless in the real world'
>>74170805
>I can't figure out why it'd be good to have a framework for looking at the actions of leaders
C'mon /pol/ack, you're better than this. You even have a framework through which you analyze behavior, even though it's mostly "find kikes and post >berg"
>>74170082
I got the certificate in the hopes that I would land a good job as opposed to the part time and dead end legal assistant job I had. Then the recession happened, several large firms closed shop in the city and hiring froze. So I made the mistake of staying in that dead end job.
I've gotten two raises in the span of a year at my warehouse job and I'm making about $38k/year. Up from $29k/yr.
>>74170889
yeah I'm sure that brings in the big bucks
Move to NH and get involved with the free state project. I hear they love political sci guys over there
>>74170889
>C'mon /pol/ack, you're better than this. You even have a framework through which you analyze behavior, even though it's mostly "find kikes and post >berg"
You really don't need a full degree dedicated to that though. /pol/ teaches you to do that after shitposting for a year or two (and no it's not just "find Jew, post >berg").
It's useless without historical and modern context.
I don't even have a B.A. in Political Science yet and I just landed a job at my state House of Reps. Though I was lucky to be at a University that has great connections with the state capital. To be honest if you're going into Pol Sci for teaching that's going to be the hardest job to get with said degree. Finding jobs related to your actual field like taking up part-time jobs at your local city council or political organizations throughout your state is a good first step, then once you have a year or so of experience working your way up the ladder shouldn't be too difficult if you're competent enough.
tl;dr
Stop fucking around and get a real job that has meaning with your degree. Teaching is a lost cause in most states desu unless you're willing to make shit money and teach liberal pricks about how the world really works.
>>74168597
>6 year old B.A. in polisci
>What should I do with my life?
End it.
>>74170974
Oh god no, Political Science is a shit-tier money discipline, even if you're at the top of your game. On the other hand, you get to spend your time getting paid to do what /pol/ does for free.
>>74171033
See above, with the addition that PoliSci integrates a lot of things into it. At bare minimum, you need to know enough history to contextualize behavior, you need to know enough economics to understand financial structures and the effects of trade on an economy, you need enough statistics to parse through all the quantitative data and come up with useful information.
>>74169894
Same here brother. Except im a $16/hr fry cook.
>>74168597
Insurances. That's where most of the student go after Political science in Switzerland. It's where you make a shit ton of money too.
>>74168840
>>74168937
I chuckled.
>>74170758
Correct. You have some nice management classes in Political science. Did it and my first job was to be in charge of the evaluation of a 30 millions policy.
So,
What did you learn?
>>74171460
Thanks for the backup, friendly Medkit.

Become a sjw becaus that's politics nowadays.
>>74170579
What jobs are open to people with IR certificates and where do you apply for them?
>>74168597
Start over. You fucked up your min maxing.
>>74171563
Anytime, ameribro.
I would like to add a subfield that I didn't focused on but seems very promising in the future if you are interested in advertising : political behavioural studies.
Basically, they work with neurosurgeons and other people whose work is related with the human brain and look at how to create the best adds for a candidate and the best attacks against an another. They have people watch some adds and they study witch part of the brain is triggered. It's about how to create some specific feelings regardless of the previous opinion of the person. It's how to play with the subconscious of the people and push them to feel a certain way. Also, it helps you to avoid legal issues by creating a feeling instead of directly saying something. They also look how to create lasting opinions (based on not that much) that would be very hard to overcome.
While it may be too early to focus on this subfield in order to find a job, I have to admit that it's very interesting and totally deserves to be called science.
>BA in Political science
>$45k yr/ being an HR assistant
Go get your MBA and join the corporate world fucktard
I have a phd in poli sci, work as a researcher for a lobbyist, decent pay and I like it.
>>74168597
burn in hell for being a slave to the jewish machine.
>>74171236
>, you need to know enough economics to understand financial structures and the effects of trade on an economy, you need enough statistics to parse through all the quantitative data and come up with useful information.
Yeah, my degree did not provide that at all. No econ or stat really. There was a class on research, but no quanitative/qualitative analysis.
>>74168840
That job would be awesome. Your life would become a dark comedy
>BA in Biology- Medical Technology
>jobs everywhere
>50-70k
How did I do /pol/?
>>74171552
nothing really. but i'm good at readying at writing from k-12
>>74172868
obviously not that great at life if you're posting here
>>74168597
suicide is always an option
>>74172932
>implging /pol/ isn't the best place to get news
>>74168597
Move to Denmark and join the Danish Peoples Party - you're guarranteed a career with shit loads of money for as long as it takes for the migrant crisis to blow over.
>>74172932
Always with this retard meme. Why don't you leave if you don't like it here?
>>74168597
I don't know how the fuck you got through it. Tried a few classes and they were all filled with pretentious little liberal faggots who always tried to sound smart and gave wrong answers every time. My Marx and Marxist Theory professor would say every class multiple times "Yeah but what does that mean." I dropped that shit and never looked back.
>>74168597
End it.
My friend wasted 4 years of his life on a Political Science degree and he's working at a Pizza Hut.
>I dropped out of college and I'm a manager at a recycling plant at $45k/yr
Go to law school and take the bar.
>>74168597
Become a "worker" goon for a local political party
>>74173733
In my state you can apprentice under an attorney or judge and be eligible to take the bar/baby bar. Save 120k and a couple years.
>>74168597
So, you're 27 or 28 and asking /pol/ for advice in the middle of a work day? Not only do you not have a job, but you are asking advice from a retarded board that also isn't involved in the productive work force.
Does any part of this scenario set off any red flags for you? Because, if not, then I recommend a career at Walmart. If even they will have you. Maybe try the Goodwill? They usually take just about anyone.
Next time (and I am most certain you are such a faggot that this thread will get reposted a dozen or two times) ... next time, include any skills you have and anything that you are interested in doing in your OP. Your lack of cognitive thought on these points already indicates just how much of a drooling imbecile you are, so the chances are that you're going nowhere forever. Maybe just kill yourself and save us all the pain of having to deal with you.
