<p>I just don’t see why your parents are so concerned with political science. If this were Art History (forgive me, AH majors) then perhaps their concerns would be warranted but not only is political science the most popular undergraduate major of law students and those in the legal field, but it’s widely regarded by graduate schools as being a good, well-rounded liberal arts major. Perhaps you can use graduate school to focus what you want to study into something practical.</p>
