How did you advance in your career humanities majors?

I'll be graduating college next year with a BS in political science. I don't really know exactly what I wanna do but I'll probably find something making around $30k to start. The thought of making around $30,000 sounds okay but after a while that's gonna seem kind of crappy.

So how did your career unfold? From how I'm envisioning it most people just stumble into some kind of job (probably unrelated to their major), then they'll get a little raise here and there but it's just enough to catch up with inflation really and you stay in the 30-40k range.

Is this right? I would like to make at least $45-50k within 5 years of graduation. Should I dump a bunch of money into grad school or try and "climb the ladder"? Anyone know of good paying jobs you can get with a masters??
