I have a degree in political science. Today I am the Director of Government Relations and I've been out of college for 10 years. Many of my friends from college are shocked that I am still in the career of my degree. Rather to the point, their shock that I made a career out of my degree. It's only a hypothesis, but I suspect that I was a little more desperate than some of my peers, and that allowed me to work for shit pay for many years as I clawed my way up the ladder.
