splicanin Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Say I decide I want to pursue something outside of academia once I receive my PoliSci PhD. What options are there? To get more specific, someone who studies IR and comparative, but who has time to tailor his studies to a job outside of academia. I figured we could start a sort of list, where ideas are posted. There are obviously intel, DoD, etc, but what about in the private sector? -Apologies if this topic has been talked about already, I'm having some problems sifting through the search-function results. Also, if we could keep the "why would you get a PhD if you don't want to go into academia" responses to a minimum I would appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
