Political Science PhD for non academic Careers


Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

 

Just looking for some advice on PhD's in political science for non academic careers. I am torn if I should accept my PhD offer because Iv'e gotten a lot of feedback from some of my professors that academic jobs are diminishing (less tenure positions, too many PhD applicants). That a pursuing a PhD right now in political science may not be the best option as it is really not like it used to be. I was wondering everyone's opinion on this pursuing a PhD? Is everyone interested in academic careers?

You could work for any number of NGOs and IGOs, most notably the United Nations, NATO, Interpol, just to name a couple. Or you could work for any level of government in your country. Public Servants get good pay, I hear. :)

 

I personally think Queens is in the top 5 of Canadian universities...
