i'm a student who does a paper round once a week
My life goal is to travel around the world and see everything i can
I don't really know about a career goal though, anything so i can achieve my life goal I guess. but i'm going to university either next year or the year after to do a History and politics degree probably, so i'll see |
If you want to travel around the world I would suggest another university major ...
A History and/or Political Science degree will open no more doors in your career than a high school diploma will, and you will have difficulty getting a job that will provide you with the income necessary to travel.

What? Lots of poli-sci degree jobs in the DC area. It opens the door to diplomatic or military liason between various political offices type jobs. It's not going to get you a just just anywhere, but it isn't a bad degree to have. I think if you want to live anywhere health care is the only option.

Depending on your local market, there are (probably) 2 to 4 times as many jobs for people with "Engineering and Engineering Technologies" degrees than there are for "Social Sciences and History" degrees and yet colleges are graduating twice as many students in these degrees. The problem isn't that there are not political science jobs, the problem is that there is 4 to 8 times as many graduates in these fields as there are jobs which means the jobs are difficult to get and very low wage.
