Mid-term, obtain AI application certification, lead community demand forecasting projects, and ultimately become a social policy innovation consultant or government digital transformation expert.

Prospek karir
Entry-level positions usually start as research assistant or analyst; with experience one can advance to senior researcher, project director or policy advisor. A PhD helps for academia, but non-academic paths offer faster advancement.
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects about 6% growth for political scientists from 2022-2032, close to the average. Demand primarily comes from government, think tanks, and non-profits, but academic positions are competitive.
