Among the many jobs available for political science majors include high school social studies teachers, CIA agents, city planners, attorneys, journalists, pollster or an urban policy planner. Some jobs may require specialized application processes and training, such as CIA agents, while others require advanced degrees, such as urban planners and attorneys. According to Payscale.com, other jobs popular for political science majors include paralegals, administrative assistants and customer service representatives, all of which may be more reasonable when looking for a job right out of college.
Associations such as the American Political Science Association (APSA) are one example of a professional organization that can help with a job search through their online database as well as through meeting others in person at conferences and events. Other resources for finding political science related jobs include online databases such as CareerBuilder and HigherEdJobs.
If you have recently graduated with an environmental studies/science degree, then you may want to look for a job at a local state or national park as a ranger or an interpreter if you are interested in working in the outdoors. Alternatively, you may also want to look for work as a soil/water quality tester with a local research and conservation firm. Other jobs include working for environmental law firms or urban planning, which may require additional training or advanced degrees.
Resources include websites such as EcoJobs, USA Jobs (for all federal government jobs) or Enviro Education.com. Similar to political science associations, environmental science professional groups, such as the AESS (Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences) or outdoor education groups such as AEE (Association for Experiential Education) both have job resources boards and postings. Additionally, if you are interested in work as a research assistant, you may be able to find leads while at job fairs for these organizations, conferences or special events.
