The Government Needs Everyone!

I found a very interesting article on the Experience government industry homepage called, "But I didn't major in Government!" I really liked this article, because I didn't major in government, or political science, or economics... or anything even that close to any of those things.

I majored in Public Relations, but that doesn't mean I don't have a strong background in government. I studied abroad in Geneva, Switzerland learning about Human Rights, International Business, European Politics and International Relations. I also spent a semester a semster in Washington, D.C. learning more than I evee thought I would with an internship at a government realations agency. Then I interned on Capitol Hill. As a PR major, you wonder what that has to do with government, not a lot really. But it is obvious I have a background in government and public policy. I think my resume and interest are very govenrment heavy and that is what helped me get a job working in public affairs.

There are also all kinds of jobs open in the government. NASA needs engineers and scientists; the Department of Justice needs people with a law enforcement background and lawyers; the Government Acountability Office needs people with degrees in fiance and communications and pretty much everything else.
