Let's accumulate knowledge a bit.

[Megas Methuselah]

Thanks a lot for the info. I'd like to add that I live in the very heart of the Canadian prairies, and this so-called depression has sort of... been not much big of a deal as it has been elsewhere. Moreover, I've got some good scholarships lined up, provided I get some work experience after my BA before going to any grad school. Further, as you may very well know, I'm a young, intelligent, hard-working Aboriginal out to get payed; my resume, at this point in my life, speaks for itself. Where I am, there's a lot of opportunities for me.

Of course, I'm still weighing out my possibilities.

...but you'll still need to prove that you're qualified for the non-legal position in some manner.

And what would this depend on? Previous work experience? Undergraduate studies? As it is right now, I still have the choice of my major between history and political science... I feel very strongly about majoring in history and leaving a minor for the poli sci classes that I have already taken so far, but the limited usefulness of a history major is the only thing that is turning me off on this choice. As I already have many economic classes under my belt that will eventually add up into a Certificate of Economics once I graduate, I don't have any room in my academic schedule for a double major.

Any feedback on this would be great. And Tin Cow, your input thus far is very helpful and appreciated, thanks a lot, bro. Yours too, Strike.
