Political Science

Political Science is often a pre-law gamble that backfires. Over 60% of graduates do not attend law school, and those who do face a median LSAT score just 2 points higher than philosophy majors. While it develops analytical skills, entry-level jobs often require a master's degree, adding another $50,000 in debt. For non-law aspirants, economics or data science offers twice the earning potential with better job placement.
