What should I major in if I want to go to Law School?

I've heard you can major in anything since GPA is most important, but what about majoring in the specialization field you hope to work in? #law #lawyer #political-science #policy

How will changing my major prolong my graduation time?

When I applied to college I was a political science major, but now I'm thinking about changing my major to finance. I want to change it but I am scared that changing my major will set me back another year or so. #college-major #finance #political-science #switches

Is it beneficial to show evidence of branching out in my career and expanding upon my future career options by minoring in a field different from my major?

I am planning on entering college as a bioengineering major, though that is subjective to change depending on the college. However, I was wondering whether it would be beneficial for me to apply with a business, political science, or history minor to add more to my resume and degree. It would add more time for me to graduate with my undergraduat degree, but I am willing to do it if it will help me with getting a job or getting accepted into a graduate school later. #college #business #engineering #career #college-major #graduate-school #stem #political-science

What can you do with a degree in political science?

I'm thinking about this major but I'm not sure it's practical. Many politicians are lawyers, so that seems like that's the degree to get if you want to be in politics. And for academic study it seems like having a degree public policy is better (or law). #law #political-science #politics #public-policy #polic

With everything that is happening in the world today, what do you think we can do differently to help change the world or better yet, make the world a better place?

Coming to the United States, I never really understood why people say "let's make America great again". Was America never a great country and at what point was it great? I would just like to understand more. #criminal-justice #social-work #political-science #social-media

I am also an international student who wants to do something revolutionary in engineering field.But due to expensive tuition fee,other international students have to sacrifice their study and focus on work due to which they don't do good in their study.Study becomes second priority. #engineering #political-science

As an ambitious college sophomore how do I find an internship?

I want to find one that doesn't mind someone with little experience, but everywhere I look jobs and internships are looking for a lot of experience. I really want as much experience I can get now in sophomore year so that when I apply for competitive jobs in junior and senior year I have a leg up on the competition. #lawyer #political-science

How strict are law firms and other legal institutions with their age or education requirements for their internships?

Most places I want to intern at either have educational or age requirements that I do not meet as a high schooler, restricting my chance of getting an internship. I plan to major in political science when I go to college and would love some exposure to the legal and governmental world by having an internship. #law #internships #political-science #intern

I would really like to go after and tackle a double major but have been put under the impression that if I don't set up a four year plan to allocate time to do so it will become very hard to double major #major #economics #political-science #double-major

Is a minor in women and gender studies a good pairing with a political science/communications major/minor combo?

Women and gender studies as a minor is something I'm interested in, but I'm told it's a useless background to have. Do you think it's still "useless" if I want it to supplement a career in advocacy?? I am semi-lost with this #communications #political-science #gender-studies #advocacy #women-studies
