Can you be a paralegal with a political science degree?

Also, I have read several times on this board where people have posted stories about doing something unrelated to their degree and they are doing quite well.

^^Winning Post here in Quotes.^^ I think herein lies the problem. A lot of those 18 year olds would've just been better off just working at Starbucks.

Now all those Sociology and Art History and Social Work majors are 23 and working at Starbucks anyway. Had they started working instead of going to school they could be managers by now and with (unless they're frivilous like most) a little less debt. Now they're far behind AND have a lot of debt. Good luck with that. By the way, retail jobs are the next to go. Sears and K-Mart aren't looking too good.

Probably should've gone with Physics or Chemistry, but then again, not everyone can hack getting a REAL degree. Just because you have a pulse doesn't mean you should be in college either. Obamunists think that everyone's the same and "deserves" to go with or without the credentials.
