Maspeth, NY asked in Consumer Law, Civil Rights, Environmental and Federal Crimes for New York

Q: What did you major in for your BA/BS? Was it a BA or BS? When did you know you wanted to be a lawyer?

I just switched my education path to Political Science and wondering where I can take it

A: This not a legal question

A: You could take it to a career in teaching, lawmaking, international affairs, public service, or any number of areas. Law schools accept candidates from all different majors; they focus on grades and LSAT scores. If you pursue law, ten years from now, you could become interested in a legal specialty that makes use of a political science background... or is unrelated to it. It's all up to you and what inspires you. Good luck.
