<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

Over a month ago, a career counselor suggested to me that I put a career objective on my resume. For a good while, I put "Politics (my BA)/International Relations (my MA)" in that my only interest was wanting a government job in something pertaining to either politics and/or international relations. But then I started filling out government applications for job offers, the majority of which have nothing to do with my degrees. What do you guys think? Would it be best to take it off? 

In some of the applications that I filled out, I submitted a cover letter where I also put that I was interested in the job and that I'd hoped to utilize my degrees (Political Science and International Relations).
