Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I should look?
I am looking for a job in all fields because I really just want to make money so that I can go to law school. Is there anyone out there that can help this recent graduate find a decent entry level job?

You can try your career center at your school. Ask a career counselor what you should do with a political science degree. Maybe there are leads there.

With a degree in political science, you could probably get a temporary job working for some politician’s campaign. This is what my brother-in-law does. Of course, the pay isn’t great.
You could be a substitute teacher. If you are a good writer, you could try getting a job as a government relations representative. However, these are hard to get without previous experience.
Your best chances at getting a good-paying job is to get some experience under your belt. Unfortunately, in some fields the only way to do this is through non-paying internships.
Seriously, it all depends on what field you want to go into. Law? Try a legal office. Education? Business? You may need more education…like a master’s degree.
On top of all of this, many businesses have hiring freezes right now because of the economy.
Good luck!
