Actually, you can get just about any job as a poli-sci major. You can also work for the government. The pay isn't always fantastic (if you just have a bachelor's degree you start in the 40s, which is actually good but nowhere near the starting salary of some more lucrative jobs), but the benefits are outstanding. I tentatively plan on getting a PhD. My starting salary would be $60,000 (today, not in 2019 when I'd graduate) with an increase every year, lots of health benefits, vacation, a pension plan, travel, bonuses, etc. Social science majors are majors that really almost require higher-level degrees, but for someone who's actually interested and who is able to pay (preferably through loans and financial aid) / put in the time and work, it's no big deal.
