college degree?

I am a freshman in college and want to switch my major to history and minor in political science..i started out as a business major just because my family said it would be a good major and i figured i would make good money right out of college...but i quickly found out that i hate the business major...i like poly sci better but my school only has a minor available for political science so thats why i would major in history and minor in poly sci...the thing is if i major in history i don't want a career in history...i love learning about history and political science but i don't want to be a teacher or work in a boring museum...what are some realistic careers with a degree in history and minor in political science?..and does this mean ill be poor for the rest of my life if i major in this?..because i realize sometimes employers think history majors don't have the education to work for large corporations...could i get a job in law?...any help or suggestions?..i would really appreciate it

If you are planning on working for a large corporation you need to get a business degree. If you are really intersted in political science you can begin your work toward a poly sci degree where you are at then transfer.
I went to college and it was a complete waste of time. No one cares that I was more educated and more qualified for a job than EVERYONE else. (Some people have not even been to college and have better paying jobs than those who do.) So my advice is to do what you want to because it will all be pointless in the end. You have to get really lucky, because NO ONE will care about college because no one cared about my college education. You have to know someone in the field that you want to get a job in, in order to get a job. Otherwise you have to have an incredible amount of luck or you are doomed!!!!! Sorry I can't give you any suggestions or any jobs. But ask people in your major. Or maybe if you dislike your school so much change schools. It's up to you.
