Humanities:

• Pros:
  • If your science background is in a field that complements humanities (like psychology or neuroscience for literature), it can offer a unique perspective.
  • Broader range of subjects to choose from (English, History, Philosophy, etc.) which might align better with your interests.
    
    
• Cons:
  • Might require more foundational coursework in humanities compared to Political Science (depending on the specific program).
  • Job market for general humanities lecturers in government colleges might be more competitive than Political Science.
    
    
    Political Science:
    • Pros:
      • Directly relevant to government and policy, giving you a strong foundation for teaching future civil servants.
      • Many government colleges have a high demand for Political Science lecturers.
      • You can potentially leverage your science background to specialize in areas like Science & Technology Policy.
        
        
      • Cons:
    • Less variety in subjects compared to Humanities.
      
      For a government college lecturer position, Political Science seems like a more strategically relevant choice due to its direct connection to governance. However, if you have a strong interest and background in a specific humanities field, it can still be a viable option.
