Best major (choosing between better employability and poli sci).

Think of this as a 2-step question:

1. Is law the ideal career path for me specifically, given my personality, skills and interests? (So many young lawyers quit the law and go into another line of work after a few years that it's not worth the investment, no matter where the degree is from.)

2. Is the specific law degree that I can get worth the cost? (That depends; a law degree from a school ranked #100 is not worth it, but a law degree from a school ranked #10 is, most likely.)

Only if the answers to both questions are “yes”, then “a law degree is worth the cost in today’s economy”.
