Political Science is far from a dead-end field of study if you're smart and go to a good school. A very good friend of mine, who is ferociously smart, got her masters in poli sci from Chicago and is just about done with her PhD in International Relations from Northwestern, this after a career as a journalist. She's had all sorts of opportunities, though she has chosen to continue to do work that keeps at least one foot in journalism and writing, as that is something she really loves. Opportunities lean heavily towards think tanks and the academy, so if that's not your thing your options are more limited. But I would not call them terribly limited - see the above poster's career.
