7 Reasons To Hire A Political Science Major

Majoring in Political Science is no easy task. The major takes a lot of heat for being a social science.


Not only does the major take a lot of heat from the hard sciences, everyone looks at the Political Science major like this:

And if not like that, everyone assumes this :

But that's not true! Being a Political Science major, I will tell you that we actually are just as happy working for a for-profit or nonprofit organization as we are for the government or a legal firm. As Political Science majors, we offer you unique skills for your company!

1. We got Research DOWN!

Political Science majors are taught to doubt everything unless we researched it ourselves. This means we have spent a lot of time investigating and utilizing multiple research tools during our academic career. Want a market researched? Got it! Want to know information about a potential client? No problem! We will have a report of whatever you want with--of course--a personal analysis.

2. Have a Better Understanding of People’s Backgrounds

Through conferences, classes, debates, studies, and conversations we’ve come across quite a variety of backgrounds. All these things make us more aware of the backgrounds people come from, which leads to better communication and understanding within the workplace.

3. We make Excellent Managers/Leaders

The foundation of Political Science is studying different power dynamics--both micro and macro. We know under what circumstances people are able to thrive. And we apply that knowledge when working with company teams.

4. We will give it to you straight

We’re used to learning about the multitude of ways how the world is entering chaos. So bad news at work? Not a problem. We’ll give it to you how we see it with an explanation. But due to the die-hard optimistic side of us, we’ll most likely give you some possible approaches too.

5. Great in Meetings

Our classes involve discussion. Discussion often leads civil debate, especially around election season. During those discussions we develop a great skill to participate in meetings and not be phased by confrontation. Our comfortableness handling confrontation also ties into making us great managers.

Out of the Box Thinkers

Topics that are discussed in Political Science involve multiple components. Meaning there is never one good answer and we need to stretch our minds to answer them. So when you present us a problem, we’re going to come up with a few possible solutions or a combination of solutions that aren't normally thought of since we’re used to stretching our minds. Not to mention, we’ll bring more background information why we have the answers we have.

Passionate

When it comes down to it, Political Science majors are just amazing people. We study the world’s problems because we are passionate about making the world a better place. Your business is a part of the world, which means we will bring our passion to make your business a better place too.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
