Politics degree
What job can you get with a politics degree? Everyone’s telling me it’s useless and limits me 
I mean I hope it's not useless considering its what I'm going to study in September lol
From my own research though, it's definitely not useless and there's a lot of job prospects that comes from it
Jobs in the UN, high ranking public sector jobs (roles in government), a lot of private sector jobs (especially in managerial roles), civil service jobs.. just to name a few
Ofc its also a good gateway to get into party politics if that's your thing. A lot of parties don't really care too much about the specific degree you take. just more that you have some form of qualification (which is why so many MPs are just law students) but still, studying politics will equip you with the knowledge to fit into those roles
Obviously an actual politics graduate is probably more suited to answer this but I thought I might as well give my thoughts
