Can be a journalist for the newspapers loh, the chief editor probably allocate u to the political section.
But since, the state-owned media is mainly used to be a propaganda mouthpiece for the govt, u are probably forced to write "positive" articles and headlines like, "Singaporeans are getting better off", "7% GST is a heavenly made", "Singapore is a good place to live in"
Kinda like selling ur soul away to write partially true articles. Besides, a person with a journalist degree can do the job just as good, since not much "analysis" is done, because u are jst gonna write postive govt reviews.
Else be a PA to a lawyer loh, though i think an intern in law degree could easily done the job better.
Be a politician? Nah....politicans need networks, opportunity, power speaking, experience and passion. None politicians i know actually did such a course.
If u are really serious, go take out the newspaper's recruitment section on last saturday. See if theres really a prospect for Political Science or not.
I checked. Nope. But of course, if theres a will, theres a way. -
Thanks, but how about working in a think-tank?

Haha, another PS major? Actually I'm thinking of going over to RSIS after graduation..Originally posted by Texcoco II:Thanks, but how about working in a think-tank?
What's your PS subfield?
Most people I know would head to the Civil Service, stat boards etc.. some go into advertising and media/communications.
For me, either I'll do a postgrad in Strategic Studies or head into creative media, the latter being not too hard to enter since I'm already in the photography line. -
