Do you have a degree in political science?

Public administration, the political science degree for Republicans. 

A Republican social worker, ladies and gentlemen.  You may be the only one.

My mother was a social worker who leaned Republican (its much more of a pronounced tendency now); of course, her experience with the unintended consequences of the 'Great Society' contributed to that...

I have a degree in Political Science, it was amazing fun (and not just because we had our bull sessions at Hooters), but its essentially useless without a Graduate degree of some kind.

Three little nuggets of advice:

1.) Try to double major in something useful

2.) Pay attention to routine details (most places, a Professor is not empowered to drop you by mutual agreement-you actually have to do it yourself after receiving permission.  Most people already realize this, but I'm a friggin' dumbass who was too busy with intellectual exploration to bother with the fine print)

3.) No matter what, do not burn out right before thesis class-you'll live to regret it.
