“So you want to be a lawyer or the
Prime Minister?” This is often the comment I get from people when I tell them I
am a political science major. As someone who works in a Career Services
department and who has no interest in entering politics or law this is an
incredibly frustrating statement. For those of us in the social sciences and
humanities, we and society in general often minimize our job prospects to the
handful of well-known careers in our respective fields. For instance, those in
psychology may believe that they can only be psychologists. Those in history
may believe they can only be historians, archaeologists, or archivists. Those
in English may believe they are on a path to becoming authors. For those like
me in political science, we often assume our degree will lead to a life of long
hours, travel and scandal as politicians or as a lawyer.
We seem too focused on jobs that
incorporate the knowledge we gain in our degrees. This may be the case for
those in other faculties and science/math based programs. For instance, most
students in the Faculty of Education want to become teachers, while many people
in the nursing program have ambitions to become nurses or healthcare providers.
However, for those of us in the social sciences and humanities, our job
prospects are not as cut and dry and for many of us, we have no idea what we
want to do after we graduate. Adding to this frustration of seeing those in
other programs know what they want to do, the countless “studies” and articles
written about degree career prospects all show that we as social science and
humanities students are doomed to be unemployed after graduation and suffer a
lifetime of under-employment. What is the purpose then of our degree? Did we
waste all our money and time? Short answer - NO!
A popular question we get as Career
Assistants in the Resource Centre is “what can I do with my degree?” To this I often
ask if they know who Martin Dempsey is. Dempsey is a US General and former
Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff reporting to the Secretary of Defence and
the US President. As one of the highest ranking military officials in the
United States, Dempsey holds a Master’s degree in Literature from Duke
University where he wrote a thesis on Irish literature. Dempsey serves as a
great example of someone who had a meaningful and successful career outside the
"traditional jobs" English majors occupy. Like Dempsey, we must look
beyond the information we learn throughout our degree and look more broadly at
how we learn and engage with course material in order to better understand a)
the skills we can bring to an employer and b) the endless job possibilities
available to us.

Don’t be tied down to the restrictive
list of traditional jobs for your field, think outside the box and DO NOT give too
much weight to the studies that underestimate your degrees worth. Every degree
and graduate is unique and can bring something to an employer. Stop by the
Career Resource Centre in the Learning Commons and let us help you realize your
degree’s value and job prospects.

Barely anybody has impeccable credit nowadays. In spite of the fact that not in any manner genuine, the misguided judgment is that one's FICO assessment is the thing that it is and there is minimal one can do about it. Nothing could be further from reality and the canny shopper realizes that, yet how can that help you now. auto title loans chicago
