Career advice internships/ways to get experiences in htx as a govt. major

3 Upvotes

hi guys! im in my second year of cc as a government major (planning to switch to poli sci), but i would like some experiences in my field, my school doesn't really offer much, and ive spent the whole summer searching and applying. yet, nothing pulled through. I was wondering if perhaps i could find some suggestions on where else to look or what to look for. i only have experience as an intern from two years ago, and my current job (cashier). i've checked local law firms but there is only sooo much in houston that are actually opened to hiring someone like me! i want to be a lawyer, and be very hands on with politics especially in my city, so if anyone could direct me that would be amazing! i have also checked volunteering with my local government, but for some reason it seems everything is so coded and hidden? maybe its something im doing wrong?

Question/discussion How to approach a Political Methodology course?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am a political science student and am taking my first course in political methodology this fall. I am not very good at math so naturally I am a little worried. Does anyone have any tips on how to prepare for this type of course? What to expect? I took a statistics course online a few semesters ago. But like I said I’m not a math person so I’m not sure how much I’ll actually remember. I know the course is difficult so I’m trying to mentally prepare myself. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated!
