Also, could you give me a brief outline of what to expect with the subjects. Thanks a lot!

IMO, sociology is useless pseudoscientific wankery. Every sociologist I've ever met has been a variant of the balding-yet-pony-tailed tweed-clad stereotype. Of course, I'm a college dropout who never took a sociology class, so YMMV. (But I did usta sell weed to a lot of them.) If I had to pick betwixt the three, I'd choose PolySci with a minor in History, thereby opening the range of future employment from politics and community organizing to teaching and law. I have no idea what a degree in Public Administration entails, but it sounds like the way to go if you want to run an airport.

Are these subjects you're thinking of studying at university? If so, there should be a syllabus which sets out the course content.

You’re right jan: the courses offered at my university for Political Science are—Political Theory and Concepts, Indian Government and Politics, Political Thought, and International Relations. And Public Administration offers Elements of Public Administration, Indian Administration, Local Organization and Development in India, and Public Office Administration.

BitterOldPunk, I was thinking of Sociology as an alternative to have if I ever thought of getting into Social Work, but if it’s not going to help me, then I’d rather stay with the other two.

My uncle was a professor of political science at an American university for many years (now retired). It's essentially an academic discipline, in which you'll need significant post-graduate degrees to have much chance for publication and teaching jobs. If you want to actually work in politics, studies in communications are probably more useful.

The Public Administration programs I'm familiar with are generally of interest to people in the U.S. interested in local and state government civil service and appointive positions. Degrees in Public Administration are frequently resume check off items for city managers, and other bureaucratic positions.

Yeah, my political science degree is really useless. Get a skill degree - communications, education, social work, public administration (not for profit admin?), anything like that.

good luck boy! yay.

Well, depending on what you and paulsc have said—I think I’m going to go with Sociology and Public Administration. I hope it helps.

Hadji, looks like you are off to a good start with the advice you've gotten here. I wanted to add that I have an undergraduate degree in Sociology and Psychology that was quite valuable when In Grad school, Studying environmental communications.

Interestingly, my sociology degree was not "off the rack" And whatever you choose might not have to be either. I included course work I wrote with my advisor/mentor so that I could specialize in a specific area of the field - Environmental Anthropology. I had a knack for the Social Sciences but really wanted to be professionally involved in the environmental field. I got the best of both worlds finding that mentor that helped me see past the conventional classes to alternatives that made all the difference.

Great luck to you in this exciting new adventure.
