Cassius_MTL:

I just love American politics

That’s nice. Personally, I’m totally sick of it. But to each his own.

Cassius_MTL:

And the idea is to be able to spend (literally…) my future academic years doing more of it so I also can meet people, hence specify a possible employment route.

The challenge is, to be employed in the US you need an employer who will sponsor your work visa, and eventually your green card. Employers typically do this only if they cannot find qualified US citizens for a job (and as @aunt_bea said above, there is no shortage of political science graduates in America). Alternatively you might be hired because you are the eminent expert in the field, but that’s really hard when you’re a fresh college graduate.
