People you laugh at...

[peter12]

Peter12, I'm sure it is hardwork, that wasn't what I meant. But if your taking political science, and not planning on taking anything else in Uni. it isn't that useful. But like I said above, if your talking it toward getting admitted into other classes, than thats great.

Let's just leave it at the fact you have no bloody idea what you are talking about ok?

Your friend sounds like an ******* and is most likely failing at life for reasons other than his poli sci degree.

Peter what can you really go into if you just have a political science degree though, what real marketable skills do you have if you don't obtain any further education. This isn't meant to be a jab at you or an attack on your education choices, but rather a serious question, what does the future hold for the average poli sci grad?

Obviously many political science courses do not have a lot of practical information unless you plan on going directly into the field. But the skills it gives you are flexibility, research skills, writing skills, good qualitative thinking. All of these skills are good in the business field, especially in marketing or management. Many poli sci students ( like me) also combine economics or stats with their degrees to supplement themselves with a more quantitative style of thinking as well.

Thats basically what I was getting at in my last post. So why did you say I have no idea what I'm talking about?

And that guy is not really my friend. He is one of those friend of a friend type person, that you only see every few months or so.

You basically said that it is just an idiots type degree that people use to get into other classes ... not true.

The thing is ... this guy sounds like a ****** and a bit of an idiot. It is really easy to coast through a liberal arts degree and come out with a piece of paper and nothing else, while it is extremely difficult to do exceptionally well. There are many who work extremely hard to acquire important skills, we are the ones who don't end up working at McDicks

[FireFly]

There are two fields I can think of right now (due to what's going on in Louisiana) that are extremely important and require those with political science degrees. Intergovernmental relations, and policy analysis/advisory. Not everyone will get these jobs, like not every architecht will get a good job, or every computer engineer. It's a more cometitive marketplace as there are fewer jobs available, but they are there, and are extremely important.

I didn't basically say that. If you read my posts, I said that their are smart people in the class. I also said that its a good class to take to get into other classes.

Either way, we both said that its a good class to take to go into other fields with, so lets just leave it at that. We both agree.

Poli Sci is a waste of time. Real students take Sociology :P

I also laugh at people who change their sign in name on MSN messenger so that it describes their love life or other pointless things.

People who can't skate and buy rollerblades. I laugh heartily at them, especially when they fall. Normally they're not injured though, as these people usually have $500 of pads on.

So people are expected to magically know how to skate before they buy the skates without ever having practiced before? Greeeeat. I supposed people are supposed to have ripped muscles before they ever go to the gym and are expert drivers before they ever get behind the wheel too.

Yes. If you are Canadian it is in your blood. I could skate before I could talk. And yes, watching losers try to homoblade is quite funny.

[Flames_Gimp]

I laugh at people who tell me to slow down, at the mall.

I was a really shinguard skater when I was a kid. I actually got good at rollerblading first and then was able to figure out ice skating.

From my experience, going from rollerblades to skates was a great way to learn.

[Patek23]

I've never skated in my lfe, They don't even make skates in my size, so I'd have to custom order them, and I don't want to have to pay a fortune for something I wouldn't be any good at.
