What can I do with an International Relations degree right after graduation?

papillion_mon_amour asked:


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 had a BA degree in Political Science (IR) I had an unpaid internship with an embassy in Washington DC 3 years ago. After my graduation–I had to be a teaching assistant. Then, I go back to do my MPA.

    Well, you can work for federal, state, local government. However, those jobs are very competitive. Good luck.
