Hello,
I am a 23 year-old soon-to-be graduate from Valdosta State University in Georgia. I will graduate in August with a Bachelors in Political Science. So far, I have been unable to locate any real career opportunities. My dream would be to get involved in local/state/federal politics, but I seem to lack the connections to make that happen.
I have generally been a competent student, maintaining a 3.55 GPA and gaining membership in the Pi Sigma Alpha Political Science National Honor Society....any advise would be appreciated!

You can search the Alabama Job Bank. I saw a job listing for a Research Intern at the Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery yesterday. Pay was pretty good too.
