I received my undergraduate education at the University of Maryland, majoring in political science; followed that up with a Masters in political science at Virginia Tech. (In the process of applying to PhD programs.)



If you are talking about just an undergraduate degree, there are a lot of financial firms that can use you as an economic analyst that would be most interested in a political science major. However, it is important to note that you should combine your political science degree with a good background in economics and/or international finance (whether this is your minor or whether you simply take a number of courses in economics).



I've already been accepted into a Masters program in economics at the London School of Economics, so if I do not get accepted into the doctoral programs I will be heading in this venue. (My wife is already a financial analyst working for Fidelity Investments.)



There is always the route of state and federal government agencies. Naturally this would be one of the areas of potential employment that would prove to be most fruitful. State and federal governments are often more apt to look at an undergraduate degree in political science as constituting suitable preparation than other potential employers.



As you probably already know, when it comes to academia, having only an undergraduate degree is usually prohibitive with respect to employment in this field.



Hope some of this information proves helpful.What jobs can i get, other than working at Mcdonalds, with a Bachelors in Political Science?
Try a legal secretary, they make pretty decent money.
