  1. I'm currently an undergraduate political science student and I know I want to get a PhD after I graduate, but I'm still unsure about the subfield. I want to decide as soon as possible so that I can plan accordingly. I know I don't want to go into American politics or political philosophy. I really love formal theory and international relations, but I also like research methods in general and comparative politics. I just love political science as a whole and I don't think I can decide on just one subfield, let alone topic, to focus my work on. I also feel like formal theory/research methods might be a harder subfield to find a position in and I don't want to be unemployed forever. How did y'all decide on your subfield? And do you think it would be a red flag to the admissions if as an undergraduate I did research projects on different topics that interest me, rather than sticking to only a specific one? And lastly, if I were to decide on formal theory/research methods, I think I should add a minor or major in something related, would you recommend data science, mathematics, or computer science? If I were to go with international relations or comparative politics, should I still add a minor/major in one of these subjects? Just for context, right know I'm majoring in political science and military and strategic studies, and I also already completed a minor in Spanish. I know I've asked a lot of questions, but I just need advice. Thank you!
