I am really passionate about the social sciences (political science, psychology, history), but everyone keeps telling me to major in STEM, which doesn’t interest me. What should I do?

I’ll give you the same advice I gave my own kids.It sucks to be stuck in a job you hate.It also sucks to be working your ass off and not making enough money to live on and to pay your student loans.You need to think beyond what subjects you love to what it is you hope to do with your degree. Your ultimate goal should be to have a satisfying career that pays you enough to have a decent life - not necessarily to major in a particular field. And if there are multiple ways to get to your ultimate objective, then it’s not a bad idea to pick the degree that gives you the best chance of landing the job and starting the career that fascinates you.As one example (a science one, since that’s what I know best) - I work in radiation safety, yet I don’t have a degree in this particular field. Part of the reason for this is that I never intended to be a radiation safety professional and part is that the school I attended (Ohio State University) doesn’t have that particular degree program.On the other hand, among my colleagues, there are those who studied physics, astronomy, biology, various flavors of engineering, geology, botany, and much more. So for those interested in a career in radiation safety, there are many paths into the field - only one of which starts with a degree in the field.Similarly, my oldest daughter was interested in being a teacher, but she decided not to major in education. Instead, she majored in Sociology and got a job as a social worker. But she recently earned certification to teach English as a second language and then landed a job teaching English - she’s now teaching in Japan. Again - there’s more than one path to a career.So - by all means, study something that interests you. But you need to remember that college is only 4–6 years, while your career goes on for several decades. So keep your eye on the prize - a satisfying career - and your degree as one step on the path to that career.Finally - there are a lot of degrees in the social sciences. It can’t hurt to take a look at the employability and starting salaries for a number of them and see if there’s one that appeals to you, that can lead you to a job or career you think you’ll enjoy, and that actually pays decently!College Degrees With the Highest (And Lowest) Starting Salaries In 2017

What is the difference between a B.S. and a B.A in Political Science?

For Political Science almost nothing.Generally a B.A. (in any subject) will err towards the Humanities & Liberal Arts, whereas a B.S. will err towards the hard(er) sciences.In political science, a B.A. program may include more philosophy, history, and political theory whereas a B.S. program may include more quantitative methods, economics, etc.In political science, no graduate school or potential employer will care whether you have a B.S. or B.A.- depending on what you’re trying to do they may care about the specific coursework you’ve completed, your quantitative skills, or research focus. But the won’t infer that from whether it’s a B.S. or B.A., they’d rely on your transcript and/or C.V..In a field like engineering for instance, there is a much more pronounced difference between a B.A. and a B.S.. But due to the nature of political science as a field, it’ll always be straddling the gap between social science & the humanities.
