How Liberal is SCU?

Writing a book, being a lawyer = Philosophy
Investigative journalism, foreign policy = Political Science

You could always give it a shot to double major. I hear it is pretty easy at SCU. Not sure about the others’ policies on it. BA in Phil and BS in PoliSci at SCU would be compatible by their policies.

You should gander on the ‘Law School’ section of these threads. Do NOT go to law school to be a lawyer FOR NOW. Word on the street is there is a huge surplus of supply in the lawyer market that may take a while to hit equilibrium - if it ever does at all.

It sounds like you’re still rather undecided on careers, which is completely okay at this stage of the game. IF you’re still not sure of career choices once you graduate undergrad, then based on your interests mentioned here, you may enjoy a stint in the Peace Corps. They recruit from SCU that I know of and the alumni magazine just did a big article on PC alum from the university a couple months ago or so.

And there’s always becoming an officer in the military. The Army has a public relations job that fits the bill of being a quasi diplomat between local nationals and their units. I think it’s strictly an officer position too.

And if none of that suits your fancy then, then F it and go to law school and become a lobbyist in DC. Make buku bucks while you’re alive and while you won’t be alive to see the catastrophic ends to your bad deeds.
