<p>Poli Sci and Gov’t are two names for the same thing. E.g., at G-Town, the major is “Gov’t,” but if you compare the curriculum to the poli sci major at most U’s, it’s the same stuff. I double-majored in Poli Sci and Spanish before going to law school because I thought I wanted to do immigration law. But I think few law students graduate and actually go into the field they intended. I ended up really liking my tax and property courses and went into estate planning. You never know where life will take you. My DD is a HS sr. applying to colleges this fall. She also wants to go to law school and hopes to be a federal prosecutor. We’ll see. I am encouraging her to double major in Poli Sci and either Economics, Philosophy, or English, or else do a cross-disciplinary major like Political Economy or Public Policy.</p>
