Many years ago a friend who graduated from Harvard Law said 'Zach, the biggest mistake undergrads make is majoring in political science in order to get into elite Law Schools.'
Me: "What's the most impressive degree then?"
Him: "A double major in philosophy and math."

Political Science, and International Relations are woeful disciplines. They actually teach bad ideas. Ideas that you’ll have to unlearn in the real world.
Reducing the multitude of human experiences to trend lines is moronic.
If you plan on working at State, or in Politics, you’re better off studying English and History.
Agreed on Philosophy and Math though. The person who does that will get a serious education, and they’ll be a good, logical, thinker as well.
