Hi, I am a young student and am going on to university soon. I am interested in helping causes and organisations like unions and such for a profession. I thought of doing political science, but that's not very agreeable to my parents. So I thought of doing economics however I'm not sure how employable a pure economics degree is and whether or not I can stomache the neoliberal economics. If anyone could provide some of your own experiences and help me I would appreciate it.

I wouldn't recommend poliSci or economics, you will go broke if you're not following the status quo line and its an useless career from a production viewpoint.

If i were to start all over again, id go for civil engineering or architecture. If there is one safe area its that one, construction never goes out of business, you can transfer that knowledge anywhere in the world and its a productive set of skills.
