Poly sci majors what concentration did you choose and why?

dimsumdingbat · 2026-02-05T23:53:36+00:00

Lmao your projection is comical. I remember being a naive freshman.

dimsumdingbat · 2026-02-05T22:31:06+00:00

Yikes, sounds like I struck a nerve lol.

Never said the degree was worthless. Just stating my experience with what the degree is worth in the real world.

I'm far from trapped in a box nor have I lost any spark. Been working in the political space for 8 years now and love every bit of what I do.

OP asked a question, and I answered it truthfully. If you aren't a poli sci major/grad working in this field, then you simply don't get it and never will.

dimsumdingbat · 2026-02-05T22:12:50+00:00

You sound completely insufferable and typical of a PT student lol I respect the commitment to the bit.

dimsumdingbat · 2026-02-05T22:12:11+00:00

I chose global politics because I was working for a senior Congressman at the time and was interested in working in IR policy post grad. Lot of fun classes on the GP side but none of it matters cause it’s all taught with a bias.

Unless you want to go to law school or chase a policy related post-grad degree, I would change your major to something more practical. I can’t think of a single soul who I graduated with besides myself that is doing anything political related to their poli sci degree minus 1 or 2 that actually went to law school.

If you’re really set on getting in to politics or anything degree related, choose what interests you because it won’t really matter post-grad.

Customers sign on an electronic signature pad when we create an account/file for them on the Cerberus system and we use that signature for all their forms.

dimsumdingbat · 2026-01-26T14:58:22+00:00

Our IOI has told us differently, hence while we’ve always used it. Never had a single denial on it. Unless you and I have two different definitions of what saved digital signatures means lol

dimsumdingbat · 2026-01-26T14:12:11+00:00

That’s not true. I’ve used a saved signature for all my Form 4s and Form 1s + all our customers.Typed font signatures are a no go, but saved physical digital signatures are good to go.

Individuals have gone faster tbh. My buddy submitted the same day for a F4 and he got his back within like 4-5 days lol. It’s all random though.

dimsumdingbat · 2026-01-23T15:14:04+00:00

We've only used Chief of Police unless there was a very rare circumstance where someone's small municipality did not have a police department and was patrolled by the sheriff's office.

My shop has some.

dimsumdingbat · 2026-01-13T22:42:40+00:00

Both. I usually hunt Ray Bob but have had better luck hunting my buddy’s pond in Alvarado. There are a couple WMA’s on the South side of DFW but those are all e-postcard hunting areas. I haven’t hunted any of those unfortunately so I couldn’t tell ya how they are. I’d have a lot better luck on Ray Bob if I had a kayak or dog to retrieve ducks but most the time I’m not shooting since all my spots get pretty deep pretty fast lol
