What the heck does tomorrow hold?

The title says it all. As many of you know, I change my career just about every week, there's always something new I want to try. And what is the career for this week? I was thinking of double majoring with Political Science and English. I am not dropping my major, so that will not change. Good thing is Political Science is in the same college as English and so the electives and core areas will be covered and I also need 12 credits in another subject, one being English and so that's covered. It will add 36 extra credit hours before I can graduate but I have decided I don't care about time, I want to get my degree and I want a job that I will enjoy. You only live once, right?
So, my dad said Political Science is a waste of time. And what would I do with it? I think I want to be a politician, once again, it may change next week but that's the flavor of the week right now. Why a politician? Because I enjoy government and I care about the people in America and around the world, because I am level-headed and I was by no means born with a silver spoon up my behind, and I think I could make a difference. When I say I want to be a politician, I feel like I'm selling my soul to the devil because most people have a very negative view of government officials but I would like to think I would be an exception.
So, any thoughts and for those who are wondering, I have a list of possible jobs for Political Science majors.
