my sister is so much confused to choose her career field .she had completed her class 12 th with arts stream (history , political science , sociology, English).she is more interested in theoretical political science subject but not in politics .so suggest some field for surely making career .

Aastha jain 10th May, 2020

Hi

Since she is not interested in politics, she could take up law as a career. She could appear for a CLAT exam and enrol herself in an LLB programme. This will also give her the flavor of theoretical political science. Some of the best law universities in India are the NLUs, i.e. National Law Universities.
