Political Science is the most diverse field in the Arts & Humanities section. And because of its diversity, you have plenty of opportunities available at postgraduate level. The chances of success at the undergraduate level are relatively less because of lack of experience and in-depth knowledge of the political world. In India, if you have done your Masters (Hons) in political science then surely you can work with any political party and also can work with any government agency. But when it comes to going abroad with your political science degree, the scope becomes much wider. There you can have research opportunity associated with it or if you have really great knowledge with exceptional work experience, you may apply for a govt. ambassador or diplomats for a government organization. Opportunity is huge, you just need to explore it and identify your interest. Hope this helps. Best of luck.
