Hi There! I have a BA in Political Science, and it's definitely not the easiest degree to use in the workforce! That said, there are plenty of options for you. What have you done in terms of internships or employment while in college? The jobs I held in school and the internships I did helped me land quite a few jobs after college.
Also, if you're graduating in spring 2004, you could EASILY sign up on a political campaign. The pay isn't great, but it's one of the best ways to meet influential people in the community/state, and the connections can pay off in the long run.
What about groups for whom you've done volunteer work? I know a lot of poli sci grads who've gone on to work for non-profit orgs. At the moment, I am hoping to get a new job for a private foundation.
Also, do you have an area of emphasis or concentration within your major? I did my concentration on public relations, and many of the jobs I've since held are PR jobs. A classmate of mine focused on policy and now works in legislative research in a state legislature. Your area of concentration might be a great place to start narrowing your options and deciding what type of poli-sci related job you want.
Good luck with your search. Feel free to PM me if you want to chat more about the job search!
