doing a political science degree, not that much left and time passes by quickly, so I'm wondering what I should doI'm not fit for politics due to personal reasons like having the 'tism but I want some excitement and a dynamic lifeshould I pursue an MA in something after this? and what?
>>32568144Aren’t most politicalfags behind the scenes and in the shadows. A great place for the tism , I would think. You can into analysis and data manipulation loading polls, gerrymandering and acting like you are just a coffee boy. You can stay in school forever like that Noam Chomsky fellow and all those commies that bitch from their own ivory towers about other intellectuals in their ivory towers.
>>32568512>analysis>dataI'm terrible at math and so is everyone in my course
>>32568144ignorant retard hereunless you have good personal contacts or networked your way from uni, you are fuckedyou could just make a yt channel and tell everyone that china and the ccp will collapse in 2 more weeks
>>32568536I know a couple of people, but they are all my age so yeah
>>32568514You can’t be any worse than the rest of them. Numbers don’t lie.I thought autistic fags were good at math but whatever.
>>32568576I barely passed math in high school
>>32568144You should have been networking to secure a position after graduation. Unless you got college paid for, you might need to reprioritize that "excitement and dynamic life" once bills start coming due.
>>32568716I got it for free from the stateI'm extra retarded since I could have gotten more useful degrees for free
>>32568733That is one good thing you have going for you. From my own experience, I would not recommend graduate school without some actual experience in a related field. Making the same mistake of not liking your chosen area of study would be worse than undergrad because you would effectively be slotted into a narrow path with your likely end degree. Also, you would have a huge respect gap within whatever field of study you enter. I work in healthcare and only went for a masters after having years of experience. The people who go straight through the academic treadmill are viewed negatively and have no clue about working in the field that they purport to know.Let's say you go to work for a business, find an area that you like, then go for an MBA or such later on while you work. That would open more doors for you than just some random MBA, no experience, no job history.Before any of that though, you need to find something that you can live with as a career. You have an open-ended degree which is good and bad. It doesn't pigeon-hole you into anything specific, but it also doesn't secure you a career by being gated (e.g., accounting, nursing, engineering, medicine). Find what you want to do long-term first, then worry about growth from that position.
>>32568144Start the new NSDAP
>>32568791What would you suggest I go into?
>>32568939I can't answer this. You need to do some introspection and determine what field actually holds your interests. Some guidelines to find that might be reviewing what careers align with your skillset or through skills that you feel motivated to develop. I always knew healthcare was my calling, so I am knowingly biased toward that end. I really can't speak of the specific things that might draw people to other fields. My wife, for instance, loves art and drawing, but I couldn't hold interest in that for five minutes while she can doodle for hours.
>>32568589Better than me.
>>32568998I'm not really interested in anything, as for healthcare it seems impossible to pivot from political science to itI was told not to go to medschool by my mother, who works in healthcare, so I didn't
>>32569028If you actually have no true interests then you might want to use utility and practicality as your starting points. You can look for careers that are less likely to be automated while also having high stability. You could also look for positions available which provide strong financial security (e.g., state and federal pensions). There are fairly quick paths to healthcare for people with a pre-existing bachelors (e.g., 1 year post-bachelor RN programs) but with the shortage, I would not recommend healthcare unless you truly knew it was your calling.I can't really give you much more than that as I'm not qualified to talk about fields outside of my knowledge which has been limited to healthcare and technology. I would not recommend tech either due to heavy outsourcing and high job risks from emerging AI.
>>32569067I wouldn't want to work as an RN, I don't like to really be "hands on" with people, if you know what I mean. Ironically enough though I used to play this multiplayer roleplaying game where I'd play as a medic quite a lot, so I don't know.
>>32568536Yeah. Did History and was struggling to find anything that related at all. Most require going more in debt for PHD or Masters which isn't smart considering the pay increase is far too little for investment. >>32568144Try to use career center and network with whatever time is left. Get a jump start on jobs and apply rapidly and in detail with a specifically crafted resume for each. Look for government jobs doing federal shit first off. Then local state ones. Then finally, whatever you can get. Government will hire humanities majors regularly but the positions are slow moving and can be hard to get, since they are peak.
>>32568144Here's a fact your guidance counsellor didn't share with you: Only about 25% of college grads wind up working in the field of their majors.Here's another: Employers hire the person in front of them, not the transcript. THAT you graduate college tells them you have some discipline and ambition; WHAT you studied means a whole lot less.Put them together and, a few purely technical fields aside, you can apply for just about any job you're interested in. Impress them with your ambition and peresonality, and they'll teach you the business on the job.
