03/18/2004 | If you're a person who doesn't have attachments and is willing to travel, this major can be luicrative. Granted you could stay in one spot and work on international relations with your company's foreign subsidiaries, but you may want to keep an ear open about travel opportunities. Companies generally have a hard time sending a rep to Yugoslavia for 2 years, then Turkey for 1, then Japan...etc. If you are willing to do this then a company will grab you and ship you out. These jobs offer high pay and will give you an opportunity to experience different places. The obvious drawback is that you live a pretty nomadic lifestyle and don't really develop roots anywhere. Also, if you had a good job with the company in the States and they send you off for a couple years, you may get forgotten and when you come back you just might see the annoying suck-up with that vice president job you had your eye on.

12/10/2003 | I double majored in International Relations along with Political Science. It offers a very rigorous theoretical background towards understanding foreign policy. It borrows a lot from other disciplines like Sociology, Economics, and Environmental Studies. It's a rapidly growing field; like other social sciences, it tries to get at what makes people do what they do; a very difficult undertaking.
