Political Science does a lousy job in informing our majors of other opportunities for major than going to law school. Most of our majors plan on going to law school, even if that is not what they are sure they want to do with themselves. There is a false belief, forged while sitting in con law or civil liberties, that after the major finishes law school, he or she will be arguing the big constitutional cases of the day before the Supreme Court of the United States. That is not likely.
If you are not certain about law school, and even if you are, you should read this “New York Times” investigation of the difficulties facing newly minted lawyers in gaining employment upon graduation.
