I'm looking to get a bachelors degree in preparation to go to Law school. I want to choose a ba that I can still get a pretty good job if I decide not to pursue law school. What kind of jobs are available to someone with a BA in Political Science?
What kind of jobs can you get with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science?
I recommend you meet with a career counselor to discuss your options...there are many. I know a few women who work for the government, another chose the FBI. There are many choices. If you want to make lots of money or help a particular group of disadvantaged people, become a lawyer. Best wishes.
Reply:Ok, if you wanna go to Law School, why don't you better major in International Relations you can work in private and public sector so after that you'll see if you still wanna go to Law School, but Political Science is a good major but that's kind of difficult to get a good job while you're still thinking about going to Law School or not, better major in International Relations you have better opportunities.

Reply:My best friend got a degree in Political Science. He worked for a congressman for a couple of years, then for an agency in his home state. Then he got smart, and went to law school.
Reply:You can work in public finance, for political campaigns, for civil service or local governments, and insurance companies. If you want to teach or go further in political science (and don't go to law school), get a masters in public administration.
Reply:There are many avenues available to you with a BA in Poli Sci. For example, you can find work in entry-level positions in suburban governments, governmental agencies, local chambers of commerce and election campaigns. Internships during your college expereince can also help you enhance your resume.
Reply:All BA's have pretty much the same job opportunities. I go to law school and believe Poli Sci is the worse major anyone can get. About a 1/3 or 1/4 of all applicants are Poli Sci major, thus get rejected more often into Law Schools.

Is dialogue in the workplace more civil and respectful in jobs where people are better educated?
Or does gossip, mocking, and put-downs occur in most jobs where people have to work together? I'm wondering if the same type of workplace drama occurs in all jobs, dependent on the level of education of the employees, generally speaking. Examples and personal experience welcome.
Is dialogue in the workplace more civil and respectful in jobs where people are better educated?
well I used to work on a loading dock and worked withthe roughest people you will ever meet. They cussed and drank, and took smoke breaks every 5 minutes, and were real rowdy types and no education. However, they needed each other and worked well together as a team to get the back breaking work done. Sure there were some mocks and comments but it was done more in jest. Now, I am involved in management of a healthcare agency and I have to say that the doctors, and highly educated hospital employees are worst. They cuss everybody out, gossip and try to climb the corporate ladder, they make up stuff to get someone they dont like in trouble, always some drama, backbitting, and everyone trying to be independent. So from my experiance, education only changes the words used, and leaves everybody trying to be superior to everyone else, so respect for others does not exist.
Reply:I used to work in a meat shipping warehouse and now have a comfy office job for a large engineering firm.
In both places there are people who do as little as possible by complaining about the work to be done. The office has cleaner vocabulary and slightly more drama than the warehouse but then there are more chicks here too. Some people are still pricks and you have to adjust the way you deal with them, from running over them with forklift to playing jr. high put-down games to avoid getting fired.
Reply:Well you would think that such things will be less in places where people are better educated.
But the fact is the nature of people is the same no matter where they work! same things go on everywhere.. gossiping .. workplace politics..
Only difference might be the language used and knowing where to stop!
Reply:I guess so because dialogged in the workplace more civil and respectful because topics are more in the business sector, political issues or sports blogs. Where in the other places such as marketplace, I can hear vulgar words in gossips or showbiz happenings and they often talked current happenings in the nation.. there we can find dilemma in terms of educational attainment or jobs

How can me and my friend get jobs like the movie Lovewrecked?
me and my freind want to get jobs next summer some where other than our home town. In the movie love wrecked there was two people from massachusetts (like us) and they went to the Bahamas for the summer to work there in a hotel. How can we do that too?

You have to go to http://www.cruisejobfinder.com/fm/resort...
I worked on a cruiseline for a summer as a cruise staff member. There were girls who just modeled jewelery, others who chatted with the passengers, more that made up games or partied with the guests. My job was to entertain the teens, so I made up things like toga parties, disco parties, scavenger hunts, movie nights, pajama parties, star gazing parties, water gun fights, flying kites off the ship parties. It was great.

What previous jobs to include on a job application?
I've worked at a lot of places (I moved, they were temporary..etc). I'm filling out an application for an office job. Do I only include the previous office jobs I've had or do I include just the ones that I have room for going back in order? so all the retail jobs and resteraunt jobs would be included too?
What previous jobs to include on a job application?
as an employer I like to have a chronological work history, so that I can look at the work history, it is not a matter of how many jobs they have had in a time period, it is to see large gaps in their employment.
but a resume should be about who you are, what you want to do with your life, and all relevant job history, pertaining to the job you are looking to get. you should or could list your aspirations.
and a resume should be attached to the application.
Reply:all good jobs with nice pay, that you didn't get fired from, and your superiors would love to brag about you to future employers. but since that's hard to find, ones that you didn't get fired from for a reason that's your fault. and definetly ones that aren't just office background, to show flexibility.
Reply:write them all down use another sheet of paper if not enough room,and give reasons for leaving employment

What are good jobs that make decent money that include working with people?
I'm looking into colleges and getting ready to start choosing the classes that I will need and everthing. I want a job that will make decent money and I will be able to work and help people.. I've thought about becoming a doctor but I hate blood.. Lawyer seems good possibly a corprate one? What other jobs work with people alot? What kind of schooling would it require?
What are good jobs that make decent money that include working with people?
I am a Freshman Nursing student in college. With the nursing shortage, I feel that if one wants to make decent money and help people at the same time, this is the field for that person. That's why I decided to become a nurse. Think of the last time you were at a hospital or doctors office. How often did you see your doctor during your visit? Now how often did you see your nurse? Nurses get more hands-on contact with patients than doctors, and it is the nurses that patients remember most.
I have a job on campus, and my boss's mother in law was a patient in the hospital where the Harvard Medical students do their learning, and he said that the ICU was so short-handed that they offered his wife, a RN, a job there starting at significantly over $100,000 a year (I dont remember the exact number), plus costs of getting her ICU certified. How many jobs out there can offer you that? Probably not very many. Also, I don't think that just because you "hate blood" that you should shy away from the entire medical feild. Just like with anything else, once you do something or deal with something for long periods of time, you get used to it.
When I was in high school, I knew I wanted to become a nurse. So I took all honors courses (including english and history, not just honors science classes), Advanced Placement Biology, Advanced Placement Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, and Psychology. I would have also taken a Sociology class, but it would not fit into my schedule.
With all the classes I took and the grades I recieved, I was accepted under early admissions to one of the best Nursing programs in the state. If you want to do even more than that, some nursing homes offer jobs to teenagers wanting to become nurses. You could also volunteer at your local hospital as a Candy Striper, under some other volunteer organization, or on your own. All of this looks absolutely fantastic on transcripts.
And also, when looking for schools, reguardless of what major you decide, make sure to pick the school that fits you. Try to find a college that specializes in your major. I had musician friends in high school who got accepted to one of the best music programs in the state, biology friends who got into one of the best medical research programs in the state, and electrical engineer friends who got into the electrical engineer programs in the state, just to name a few. When picking your major, don't just settle for any university. Try to find the one that best caters to your major, because only hen will you recieve the best education for all the thousands of dollars you are going to spend.
Reply:Clinical psychologist, but make sure you get a Ph.D. They make excellent money with nice job security. Lawyers don't really work "with" people as much as they need to work "against" people.
Reply:There are numerous career possibilities with a degree in social work. With this degree you can work with others (adults or kids).

Where do they have part-time pharmaceutical jobs for those with only high school experience?
I'm a rising junior in high school with an interest in medicine and i've heard that some stores offer part-time pharmaceutical jobs for high schoolers. Nothing serious, just cashier, or sorting medicine- does anyone know any specific stores or any information on that?
Where do they have part-time pharmaceutical jobs for those with only high school experience?
Try CVS
Good Luck!

What sorts of entry-level jobs can I find in Social Services?
I am a college graduate with a degree in English. However, I have been working as a counselor in a Youth Shelter for the past year and I have become interested in the field of social services. I have recently been looking for higher-paying jobs in this field, but I find that many of these jobs ask for a college background in Social Work. What types of entry-level jobs that pay at least $25,000 a year might I be qualified for with my experience and education background?
What sorts of entry-level jobs can I find in Social Services?
You will find that any job that requires specialized training or pays better will often seek Social work degrees first. However, if you are in an area with a small pool of BSW's this will work to your advantage. You will find group home, and recreation programs the easiest to get in. Some dept of social services may be an option. Also working with the elderly may be an option. DA
