Pol science jobs

[Bhuvirelan]

I'm applying to langara university for associate of arts pol science degree. Are there good job opportunities for this field? Please help me out asap.

 

[k.h.p.]

With a masters, yes. With an AA, not so much.

Thank you for the response. But I'm taking associates degree so that I could obtain a PR and then further studies won't be so expensive. But for PR I've to work in the same field I studied. I can't understand what should I do?

Also, can you please tell me what kinds of job can I get with a masters ?

 

[k.h.p.]

Government analyst work, policy analyst work, etc. Administrative jobs in government or in the public sector.

However, an associate's degree is not very recognized in Canada. It would generally only be recognized if you had considerable work experience to support it. A candidate with a BA in political science, or an MA in political science, with no work experience, would have a better chance of getting a job than you with an AA and a few years of work experience.

Then you are not a genuine student.

Is the case for psychology the same ?

I'm a genuine student. I just have to think about my expenses.

Honestly it is hard enough finding a job with a bachelors in psychology or political science.
