abasket – has your son ever considered doing the “Semester in Washington” program? American University has a good one and so do a number of other schools. My sophomore son, who is a poli sci major, is very excited about taking it. He does NOT want to go to law school. But I think it will give him extremely valuable insight into the various ways we can put his passion for government and politics to work. The program typically consists of taking 8 credit hrs. of classes and and 4 credit hours of internship. The classes and internships can emphasize many other things aside from politics such as international business, media, environmental studies, etc.

Perhaps this is just what your son needs to gain some perspective.
