Radio Talmudist posted:Political Science. I wanted to study Political Economics at the graduate level, and/or possibly work for government. Don't do it. You need to stop listening to your friends, family, mentors/teachers and whoever else. They are all obviously bad with money and have no idea what they're talking about. Unless any of these people have a job waiting for you when you graduate then don't listen to them. Have you been applying for jobs all over the country or are you set in staying where you are? I would assume poli-sci degrees would do better in a city like DC rather than Boston. Radio Talmudist posted:I just want to have a decent job that will give me a cozy life. I don't need a Maserati. I want to live within my means. I want to travel. I want a pension, and a decent amount of vacation. You sound pretty risk averse and if you aren't against suckling from the government teet why not become a teacher? It sounds perfect if you're looking for (above all else) loan forgiveness, a pension, and tons of time off for holidays/summers.

EugeneJ posted:I hope you like spending your summers actively planning for your next 9-months of work People always love to say this, and I understand it's not completely 100% time off from "work" because you're planning and attending meetings but come on. I'm just bitter because I work weekends and holidays and it loving sucks rear end in a top hat to miss those days when the rest of your family is off and making memories. I concede, there are too many union men and women on this forum to get into this discussion so I'm bowing out.
