I am scared about the job market today.
I am currently at Mount Holyoke College, but for family reasons I need to transfer to Lewis & Clark College next year.
I plan on completing an undergraduate degree in International Relations.
Also, I am planning on attending law school, but before that, i would like to earn some money. What are some lucrative endeavors that could come with an International Relations degree? Also, would it be wise to get a MBA in International Business instead of law school>

I am saving up to go to grad school next year and I want to study International Relations.

Are the career options dire in this field? What realistically can I look forward to doing? Consulting, CIA, Foreign Service, etc? What else?

Any input? Can you make a living with this educational path?
