>>76000I mean all of the following, no trolling.
I have mucho danko degrees, like political science with three social science minors (not that I got a real degree likard hard science, but just saying).
Start with "sociology" buddy. If I recall Durkheim, Marx, and...weber? Create the foundations for sociology.
These guys talk about other shit too, which is cool. Weber's greatest work is religious studies and I'm not even religious.
Marx touches on economics from the leftist view (don't really agree but it's fantastic reading).
I'll get back to this thread in a few days and see how you're doing. Wikipedia skim, find public PDFs, whatever, but basically get the wiki summaries on these gentlemen and read some highlights from their greatest 1-3 works each, and we can go from there.
After that we can see what your interests are like (want to read the foundation for the American mindset? Hobbes, Madison, etc.) But don't start with those.
For philosophy, Plato is a good start. Read summaries or highlights of his republic. It's fucking great. Once you get a feel for it, tackle the allegory of the cave or whatever.
Sorry, gotta fly for now, but I'll be back.
Even if it doesn't get you a job, being educated in philosophy, history, religious studies, political science, and now a grad in public administration is fucking neato. If I end up not liking the real world I'll just teach.
I really hope you pull through and expand your mind. The degrees are only bundles of knowledge you can acquire 100% on your own, I promise. Don't like it daunt you.
Wish you well.
