I'm looking to get a bachelors degree in preparation to go to Law school. I want to choose a ba that I can still get a pretty good job if I decide not to pursue law school. What kind of jobs are available to someone with a BA in Political Science?

I recommend you meet with a career counselor to discuss your options...there are many. I know a few women who work for the government, another chose the FBI. There are many choices. If you want to make lots of money or help a particular group of disadvantaged people, become a lawyer. Best wishes.

All BA's have pretty much the same job opportunities. I go to law school and believe Poli Sci is the worse major anyone can get. About a 1/3 or 1/4 of all applicants are Poli Sci major, thus get rejected more often into Law Schools.

Ok, if you wanna go to Law School, why don't you better major in International Relations you can work in private and public sector so after that you'll see if you still wanna go to Law School, but Political Science is a good major but that's kind of difficult to get a good job while you're still thinking about going to Law School or not, better major in International Relations you have better opportunities.

My best friend got a degree in Political Science. He worked for a congressman for a couple of years, then for an agency in his home state. Then he got smart, and went to law school.

There are many avenues available to you with a BA in Poli Sci. For example, you can find work in entry-level positions in suburban governments, governmental agencies, local chambers of commerce and election campaigns. Internships during your college expereince can also help you enhance your resume.

You can work in public finance, for political campaigns, for civil service or local governments, and insurance companies. If you want to teach or go further in political science (and don't go to law school), get a masters in public administration.
