My Suggestion:
.
With all my humble sincerity, please consider dropping the utterly useless political classes.
Please, consider not acquiring the utterly useless university degree in politics.
Why?
Prospective employers might hold that sort of behavior in low regard.

Quietly counseling my nieces and nephews in the shop while we fabricate a trailer-hitch or re-build a transmission, I often see the 'light-bulbs' going bright over their heads.
Somehow, by osmosis maybe, they realize the ability to fix stuff carries more weight than the ability to administer/manage or be a bumblebrat in the administration and management of federal emergencies (aka 'F.E.M.A.').
.
Please, consider hands-on shop classes at a junior college.
See if you can get into welding, plumbing, electrician, farming, farrier, anything useful...

...in case the picture-taking gig goes toes-up.
.
You can still do your picture-taking as a hobby.
Here is an idea:
* mount your pictures around your front counter in your repair shop
That way, folks can admire them after they receive a repaired gadget only your hands-on experience could fix.

My hx:
I owned a restaurant business for ten years.
If an applicant had a degree in politics, I would expect that individual to be political.
I needed my cow-orkers to be restaurant people, not politicians.
