Thanks everyone!  The degree is a double major in Political Science and Peace and Conflict Studies............with a minor in French. What can I say -- I'm one big political geek!  |

Congratulations! Have you now joined the ranks of the unemployed? took me months after graduation to find a job. Had been planning International Studies & German as majors. but, changed my mind in last semester, ended up Political Science & Economics. not that the BA has done me any good for work. None of my jobs have used my degree. well... had a job at Dallas' Canadian Consulate for a Summer, an internship. but that was before i graduated! - d Thanks everyone! The degree is a double major in Political Science and Peace and Conflict Studies............with a minor in French. What can I say -- I'm one big political geek! |

Thanks again everyone! I happen to have been born in El Salvador. I lived there until I was 8 -- when for obvious reasons (i.e: civil war and a DIRECT threat to our lives) we picked up and moved to Canada. I consider myself a Canadian born in El Salvador though! As for the unemployment thing..................nope, not yet! I'm one of those that continues school and delays their entry into the "real" world. I'll be taking French language and civilization courses at the Sorbonne (University of Paris - IV) next year. Then I'll go to law school! I've still got at least 4 years of formal schooling left in me!! |
