I disagree with Amnesia's statement that you should go with what has the most job security/oppurtunities/ etc. While I wouldn't recommend getting a job in a field that has NO openings, I think that you should do what you're heart is telling you to do.

I look at it this way- I just finished up four years of college. When I got home from graduation, I looked at my degree and said "What the hell am I going to do with this thing?" I had just spend a good three years doing what my degree prepared me to do (in school, class, projects, etc.) and quite frankly I wasn't very thrilled about the prospect of looking for a job doing those same things. I am a jeweler's apprentince now, and couldn't be happier- and also am pretty far away from my major (well, it was in art.... kinda).

So, if you've been going to school for Poly Sci, and you feel like it's fun now but not what you want to do for the rest of your life, I'd suggest talking to your advisor/career counselor/favorite professor and see what they think. Also, look into how your credits will transfer- your Poly Sci programs might not have transferred to the 4 year school you wanted to go to anyway. The thing is, you never know until you actively try to get all the information and answers to the questions that are in your head.

Be proactive- go research Science as a major, figure out if your stuff will transfer, hell, talk to the Science department at the university you're going to be going to- you don't want to be stuck with a bunch of idiot professors either!

Good luck, and I know you'll do the right thing for you!
