As all of us are earning or have earned a B.A. in political science, I thought it would be interesting to explore what each of us intends to do with our degrees, or, perhaps more aptly put, what we can do with our degrees? According to an analysis of government data conducted for the Associated Press last April, 53% of college graduates are either unemployed or employed in a job that does not require a bachelor’s degree in the first place. This is obviously a disconcerting statistic for those of us graduating now, made even more so by the fact that a degree in political science isn’t the most employable one in the first place.

Personally, I plan on going to law school, and putting off these looming fears of unemployment to bask in the safe sanctuary of the occupational title ‘student’ for at least another three years. I have found it a common theme among political science students to pursue law school as a utilization of their bachelor’s degrees. Where is everyone planning to go with their degrees, be it a bachelor’s or a master’s? How do you guys feel about your own employability relative to someone, say, with an engineering degree (ranked one of the most employable degrees in juxtaposition to our vicinity to the least)?
