It definitely is best to start thinking about careers now, and if you're looking for a guide, visit www.milkround.com, which gives details on all the top graduate training schemes out there. Politics and modern history is guiding you almost inexorably towards a career in the public sector - this can be anything from a local authority (council) right up to central government.
Two things I would consider, if I were you - 1) are you going to do postgraduate studies, and if so, would you be willing to head away from politics? Many employers like to see variety in candidate's academic history. 2) Do you realise that the things you're doing right now (i.e. summer holidays, clubs & societies at university) are almost as important as the degree itself? Don't think that a piece of paper with 2:1 written on it is enough.
That said, it's a decent degree to have (depending on the uni) - just make sure you attend graduate recruitment days and DEFINITELY go to your careers advice centre - they're the experts and they usually know what they're talking about!!!

The more famous you become in your career the more money comes in and the more weight you gain and the least you think about public and social issues. The equation is so simple and practical. My question would be Will we ever see a day when this equation would slightly change. As in the weight will be out from this equation compared directly proportional with the politician's career whereas he would be more involved in solving all burning social issues? " When is that day going to come? Will it ever come? Mr. Stephanopoulos hoping to get an answer from you?

Law or some government job -- possibly involving public policy.
There are also lots of jobs where people want someone with a degree -- but don't care what degree. These range from sales to programming to training. It might be wise to take a couple of economics and business classes and learn a little bit of math and statistics.
