I don't think it's negativity towards Political Science.
Just that the current job market favors degrees or training that are:
1. Healthcare-related (nursing, pharmacy, kinesiology, physical therapy, biology)
2. Engineering-related (as well as architecture, mechanical, construction), or
3. ComputerScience/technology-related
But the real problem is there seems to be too many
-criminal justice/psychology/sociology/forensics/pre-law majors
(I lump them together because so many are people who like watching CSI/Law&Order/etc. and decide that it would be cool to do, without knowing what the classes or work are actually like, and tend to change majors or drop out)
-music majors
-and business majors (though at least business can be applied broadly)
Just don't expect a Political Science degree, or really any degree, to be fast-track ticket to instant success. Your real career begins after college, your degree is just something to put on a resume to get your first entry-level job.
That's very informative. I appreciate it. Gracious that my college lets undergrads enter as undecideds and declare a major second year.
