What should I do post grad?
I graduated in December with a BA in Political Science. I still have yet to find a job post grad despite having a 3.5 gpa and an internship.
I have been seriously debating going back to school for three areas which include law, getting my masters in social work (I have an associates in social work), or getting a PhD so I can continue research and teach at either a university or Community College.
During my last semester of undergrad, I completed a thirty page thesis which I know should not be compared and could not be compared to a masters thesis or a doctoral thesis. However, I really enjoyed the process of my thesis and the research process.
I am also extremely passionate about helping people and being of service to them. It’s for that reason that I am interested in social work and law. However, I doubt my intellectual capabilities when it comes to law school , so I’m unsure if I should start that path.
The most logical conclusion I have is social work because there is the possibility of helping people when it comes to mental health or helping people when it comes to systemic injustices. I just can’t forget about law or pursuing PhD programs. I guess my question is what would be the smartest path forward?
