Lashay’s Answer

I would encourage you to consider which level of politics is most interesting to you: city, county, state, or federal. Also think about what first interested you about the major: television show, news, current climate, local elections, something else. Then consider areas in which you'd like to research and intern. You can intern for credit or no credit, either way both are very valuable in helping you narrow down what you want to do by giving you direct experience. Some students take on more than one internship 1 per semester) so they can compare experiences. Good luck with your decision.

Lashay recommends the following next steps:

Google onet.org and type in political science I'm the search box. A list of related jobs will appear. Read the details of some of interest.
Ask your school career counselor how to take an internship, after choosing an area from the onet list

Krista’s Answer

Define your pathway to become a public policy expert in a particular subject such as technology, health care or public utilities. Volunteer on a campaign or work with a nonprofit organization to hone your skills. Find a mentor whether that person is an elected official or a community leader to learn more about public policy. Ask to shadow them for a day. Align your skills with an area of interest, and focus on the steps you need to take to reach your goal. Good luck!
