Political Science undergrad breaking into High-Finance

I wanted to see what people's opinions are when they see an undergrad with a Poli Sci degree instead of a finance/accounting/econ degree and for poli sci majors how do you guys illustrate the benefits of a poli sci degree in interviews?

I spoke with recruiters at Investment banks and they stated they like Poli Sci majors for their writing skills, communication skills, and big picture mentality.
