I am interested in pursuing a career as a politician, and am split between getting a graduate degree in political science, or becoming a lawyer. I know I should have a backup profession in case I do not get elected or whatever (cough scandal cough), but I might also *possibly maybe consider being a professor of poli. sci. Anyway, would I be better off with a JD, or a PhD in poli sci? [note that I do not intend to pursue a career as a lawyer].
