graduated with a degree in government and political theory, around here we normally call this unemployed. but no there is no title that goes with that.

Wouldn't you think if you graduated with a title the university would let you know about it?
("What do Political Science majors say on the job? Do you want that supersized - ?" Not a slam on anybody - those majors include my nephew.)
nice one, chuck. actually, i own and run an international design company based in florence, italy. i found the art world because of my fascination with political propaganda. my original goal was to get a Ph.D. in politcal theory. at this point, my work is too successful for me to leave it. i said that i graduated from college. does graduating from college mean unemployed to you?
obviously someone with a Ph.D. in political theory who is working a related job would be considered a political theorist. i believe this holds even if that person becomes an artist. i have a black belt in tae kwon do. i no longer practice martial arts, but i am still a black belt.
if someone graduates from college having majored in chemistry, does that make him a chemist? if so, would i be considered a political theorist? if not, is there another way of saying where my expertise lies without having to explain every time that i graduated from college as a government major with a track in political theory? i also took graduate classes in the field.
i don't think your nephew has too much to worry about. there are a lot of opportunities for political science majors. washington d.c. is full of them, and there are opportunities in every state working for politicians. an enormous amount go to law school. some become professors. many write books. and i was told by my dean that i had a lot of options working for corporations and investment firms. he'll be fine.
i've always heard those types of jokes thrown at philosophy students (like "you can't eat a philosophy sandwich, son"). personally, i would be crushed if people stopped studying philosophy. the english majors get the same bad deal, but there are a lot of employed writers and critics out there. anyone with their head in the right place can make a success of themselves.
obviously i know about the abbreviation for a bachelor's degree. please re-read my question!
in italy, all college graduates are called "doctor." another form of "doctor" is used for people in possession of a Ph.D. medical doctors are called "doctor" or "medico."
i'm originally from the u.s., and that's where i completed my undergraduate degree. i challenge you to go to your local fast-food joint to poll how many people who work there completed college. more than that, i would love to know if any of those graduates studied in the ivy league. i understand that the prevalence of college graduates makes for a more competitive market, but i don't see how you're putting two and two together. what does anything you said have to do with answering my questions? maybe you were trying to be helpful, but it's certainly not coming off that way.
what makes you a christianity expert? i don't think jesus would post so obnoxiously.

Right - but without a graduate degree his undergrad degree is worth little. Can't become a professor without a Doctorate.
I know all about English majors - I was one. I got no "title" with my degree and so I must explain, if asked, what the degree is in. I will say that not a lot of people ask me.
I realize you are a US resident, living in Italy - but at the moment law schools are looking for other degrees, other backgrounds, because they are in a position to pick and choose. I recently saw a top of the class undergrad turned down for a middle of the pack graduate with a degree in drama. Go figure. (Thin line between acting and practicing law, anyway, but that's just my opinion.)
My husband was a Doctor of Pharmacy but never used his title anywhere except for posting it at the workplace (required by law). I think it depends on the profession and the person.
