I should think translator at the U.N.-Business translator between German and American companies (Daimler/Chrysler Corp..Volkswagen U.S./Audi U.S. or BMW U.S./U.K.)- Teach German and/or poli-sci in public or private schools. All of those are practical, and pay fairly well for starting salary.

Volunteer for a political party while you search out the best and most affordable option. Learning on the "job" is the best way to improve your education while building a resume and developing useful contacts for future opportunities.\n\nIf you have true passion and drive for politics when volunteering you may find yourself being offered a paying position before you attend a single class. And that can influence your pool of options. Also there are many leadership training programs related to specific partisian agendas. Embedding yourself within a party will gain you insight into which ones offer the type of intense focus for the least amount of cash. Read everything. Reading is still the best cheap/free education in the world. Good luck!

I was in marketing for a few years, and my major in college was Communications with an emphasis in Business Administration. Many aspiring marketing people chose this major. Other relevant majors are English, Psychology, History, and Cog Sci. Whatever she takes, it will really help to minor or double-major in Business. It also helps a lot to get internships to get a foot in the door.

Well, if you are majoring in Communications and are interested in PR, then why not minor in PR? If your college does not offer PR as a minor, then Political Science works as well. Another good minor is Sociology, since it provides the social/global issues background you're going to need to relate to the public as a PR representative. In short, anything that provides a background in public speaking, writing, and social issues is a good minor for a Comm major interested in the PR business.

First of all, fix your grammar and mechanics in English.\n\nSecondly, this belongs in "higher education" not "special education" for its category.\n\nThen, browse nearby univeristies for German language departments (not just classes, but full department status). Enroll, get your degree, and have your advisor and career center at the university help you get hired.

I've got an International Studies focusing on Europe BA as well. Most people start with internship experience, particularly if you want to work on the Hill. Depending on your political affiliations there are many organizations that help with job placement and have tons of listings, including politics, PR, and research. If you want more information on Democrat-related job listings, try Democratic Gain or Campaign Corps. I don't know the resources for Republican ones, but I'm sure similar ones exist.

I would suggest majoring in one or two languages, and minoring in something like business or poli sci.  These are not topics that make me jump for joy either, but they help you keep your options open.  Foreign languages can be used in a variety of settings, so it's always good to be flexible…and, let's face it, a majority of the careers that you will find with a degree in foreign languages will be related to business, government, or education.  The reason I don't suggest a minor in education is that it wouldn't help you post-graduation; you'd have to major to get your teaching credentials.*\n\nIf you majored in Spanish and live in the US, you certainly could do some kind of work with community or non-profit organizations.  \n\nWith languages, diplomatic work also suggests itself as a possibility. \n\nAnother logical choice–not the best choice, necessarily, but something that logically flows from studying several languages–is a graduate degree in linguistics, comparative literature, or the literature of one particular language.  I've studied several Romance languages and Latin, and this is the career path I chose.  Unless you go into linguistics/language acquisition, jobs tend to be hard to come by.\n\nHope that helps.\n\n-Fuz\n\n*One more thing: if you know of some field that you are interested in besides languages, minor in that instead.       Say you like art; minor in art or art history.  That could open up careers in museum/gallery work, for example.

Typically political science majors take courses in government, law, lobbying, statistics and history. They also may be required to do internships with a legislator, lobbyist or statistian. By the way the internship is often the best part. You'll learn how things really work and make good contacts.

well...I have a bachelor's in political science, and work in a hospital pharmacy if that tells you anything....If you want a job in politics, you have to go to grad school if you want to do anything substantial or make good money.  I am in law school right now...the want ads I see the most in the paper are all for accounting....if you can do that without dying of boredom....maybe that would be a good future for you?

I am pre-law as well and I am majoring in English, with a minor in History (because that interests me). I plan on becoming a probate attorney and I know that a political science, although popular for pre-law students, is not really looked upon as a wonderful choice. English is a great major to have in my eyes due to the simple fact that you are doing a massive amount of reading, writing and analyzing; all of which you are going to have an abundance of in law school.\n\nAt this point, there is no real needed emphasis on becoming the type of attorney that you want to be. That will come when you are in law school. Yes, you will have required courses, but you will still have a certain level of "electives" where you can take classes that have emphasis on tort law.\n\nGood luck to you and all of your future studies.

There are lots of jobs ranging from police officers to insurance salesmen.\nI was rather confused when I was leaving college too.  My college has a career development office as part of the academic advisors office.  I would suggest going to see them.  They have various tests and surveys to track your interests.  They will also host job fairs and advise you when other ones are coming up to check out.

No, but contact the university.  They have a good German department and surely one of the advanced students would be happy to earn some extra Geld.

Political Science....PolySci.  It would be a major to afford avenues into many meaningful professions.  Law, news, politics and many more.

I would suggest either getting a Business education, or a teaching degree, if you think you like teaching.  Business you can use to do an awful lot of things, if you are unsure what you want to do.  However, I would only kind of heed the person above me answer, the marketable part of it is right- but dont just pick any old major.  My brother has struggled with his English degree, and a guy I knew that majoed in Poli Sci just because he liked it (but didnt have any real plan what to do with it afterward) managed to get a job, but has been kinda stuck in the same place forever.  So the marketable part is the key.  Poli Sci or other majors liek that are fine if you have aplan as to what you want to do with them (for Poli Sci, Law School, urban planning, etc would all be fine ways to go, so its viable, as long as you liek the career paths that it most likely lends itself to).
