What is a good major for me?

I want to major in political science, what jobs can I get with that? Is it a good major?

• I am really into the study of how our government works and foreign policies associated with time periods. I want to major in PoliSci with a minor in Media. Is PoliSci a good choice? Will it be difficult for me to get a job with PoliSci? What does it teach you? Is it a difficult major? Would it be better if I were to major in Marketing or Business Administration? Please let me know. I know that there are a lot of questions, but I really need to know before I declare my major.

• Answer:

  This is a Liberal Arts degree. Nobody will hire you because they just happen to need a polisci. They will hire your because you are reasonably inteligent and trainable. Liberal Arts often start out as ditch diggers, but get promoted to much better jobs. Major in what you love, but minor in something that will get you a job, like accounting or knowing Java. Note, people who know calculus (even polysci) make an average of 20k more than people who don't know calculus. So take the math.
