i'm about to graduate with a polisci undergrad degree, my plan is to take a gap year between undergrad and law school to save up some money at a generic 9-5 doing construction or something similar and study my ass off for the LSAT. I also have an offer from my university to assitant coach the debate team next academic year, so I will be doing that. I've been operating under the assumption that there's no point in me even trying to find work relevant to political science between now and law school b/c I know that a polisci bachelors isnt worth much on it's own. However, i'm willing to put in the work of filling out applications on the offchance i win the lottery because it would be cool to spend this in-between year doing something relevant to my major (I actually love political science as a field, big dork). Iv'e looked on USAjobs.com and found a few administrative remote jobs that i'll be applying for, although I'd be suprised if i got anything since I know they are competitive. My rough stats are: 3.7 GPA, did a pretty solid undergrad honors thesis on trust in government following natural disasters, president of my school red cross club for 2 years but I didnt do anything special with it, captain of my schools debate team and as i mentioned next year assistant coach. I also won a national title in competitive college debate and picked up several other less significant awards. I also have a legal internship set up for this summer, but that might be going away bc the lawyer i was gonna intern for decided to run for judge and is laying off all his staff. I could probably get another internship in falI though with a local small practice. I also got in a few articles about me from mid-tier national college publications and a local news TV segment one time for some recovery work I did after a hurricane. I also ran my own junk hauling business for a while. It was nothing special, I had no employees and it was just a summer hustle to put a little money aside to live on while in college. Still, it was financially succesful and i wonder if i might be able to work an entrepreneurial spin on an application. Anyway, thanks for reading all that - my question is: what can I do with this? what's my best course of action to try and get a "real" polisci job - the unicorn would be like an assistant political analysist or something - for the next year? I do need stable income, but it could potentially be a part-time position if it's remote and allows me to make time for an income source. If I somehow luck into something that pays well and offers full time work I would be willing to delay law school further.
