<p>I definitely won’t try to say it is the most successful degree. However to say political science is completely useless and a failed attempt for a degree is a little much. You can’t stereotype all political science graduates. Some counter intel. agents make 6 figures and they do a good job tracking down international terrorists, all political sci. graduates. As a matter of fact if one is seeking a career in federal law enforcement such as special agents or within the intelligence community (i.e. CIA, NSA, DHS, DSS, DIA, etc.) then political science is the way to go. Especially with jobs greatly rising in Homeland Security these degrees are sought after and agencies pay very well.</p>
