I have many friends with the same or similar degrees.  Some are in politics, some are foreign aid workers.  You could also couple it with a business degree and go into international business.  Really it is the beginning of many possible careers.  What interests you; travel, helping people, making money...?  I myself and most of my friends are spread all over the world.  The degree is just a stepping stone or a way to get you foot in the door.\n\nFYI...Even most of the "do-gooders" (foreign aid workers) and business types who left college with your background are preparing for a future career in politics.

You can do anything.  A lot of business don't require that you have a degree in a specific field, they just want you to have a degree.  You can do a ton with an English degree.  You could edit a magazine or newspaper.  Start your own magazine.  Edit books.  You can write greeting cards.  You can work of any company that has anything to do with music.  Find out what you think you might like to do, then find a company that does that and apply.

English, Mass Communications or Journalism. Try to get a good Liberal Arts degree so you are well rounded.

Do you mean a career specifically to discover a new culture, or a job that involves traveling and in the course of traveling, the opportunity to experience a new culture?\n\nAnthropology is the science involved with studying culture, although there is little likelihood that a totally new culture would be discovered now.\n\nMany, many careers involve travel.  If that's what you're looking for, your best bet is to hook up with a company with offices overseas.  Many types of businesses have international dealings.

I'm also interested in an entertainment related career. Your major isn't going to matter as much as you think. When it comes to Hollywood, it's about who you know. I'd suggest something along the lines of Communications or Business though. You may also want to check out programs for entertainment/arts management  throughout the country that will cover what you need to know and assist you in finding an internship to enable you to get a better insight into that career - perhaps even land you a job at that company.

well, it really depends on what you wanna do besides travel. there are, of course, the usual options - you could work for an airline, even financial analysts travel all over the world. so there are jobs that involve travel - all you got to do is ask your employer. but if you want to do something that's purely travel, you could become a globe-trotter for a network. so u get to travel and come on television!

so if you want to be an attorney i would recommend majoring in international relations with a political science minor or public administration minor. International studies/relations at my school is what most take in efforts to become a lawyer. Once you get your undergraduate degree in international relations you have to apply to a law school and take the LSAT prior to entry of the law school.   \n\nlook to colleges with a great Liberal Arts Dept. and most universities in the U..S have websites where you can see the majors and minors they offer.\nhope that helped!

Actually, it is very easy to do. Apply to the universities you are interested in. Also, approach the local Rotary Club for some guidance. They all offer scholarships for international studies. One way to do it is to enroll in a foreign language program, which will send you to the country to learn the language. This makes it easier to pursue an education because you have shown a dedication to your education by learning their language, etc.

Having an undergraduate degree is not mandatory, but is highly recommended. Life experiences are taken into consideration. However, a standard requirement for overseas officers, intelligence analysts, and other non-clerical positions is a college degree, preferably an advanced degree.\n\nhttp://www.cia.gov/employment/faq.html#m1\n\nBasic Requirements for All CIA Positions\nBefore seeking any position with the CIA, you should know that the following requirements will apply: \n\nU.S. Citizenship is required. The CIA does not assist individuals in applying for US citizenship. \n\nSuccessful completion of a thorough medical examination, a polygraph interview and an extensive background investigation\n\n\nFor more information visit http://usgovinfo.about.com/library/weekly/aa071899.htm and http://federaljobs.net/ciajobs.htm

You get to have more friends, communicate with a whole group of other people, can confidently move to countries which speak that language and have a career there.  In a nutshell, more options!

YES!!! East Asian Studies is a great major. Japan and China are both East Asia, as well as the emerging power of South Korea. I highly reccomend you do it - but only if it really interests you. I also suggest that you choose a specific nation ( I recommend China) and learn the language. With those skills you will go far in the business world. You can work as an international liason or in a diplomatic post, or work for an international corporation as an interpreter or an executive. The sky is the limit!

I would suggest majoring in one or two languages, and minoring in something like business or poli sci.  These are not topics that make me jump for joy either, but they help you keep your options open.  Foreign languages can be used in a variety of settings, so it's always good to be flexible…and, let's face it, a majority of the careers that you will find with a degree in foreign languages will be related to business, government, or education.  The reason I don't suggest a minor in education is that it wouldn't help you post-graduation; you'd have to major to get your teaching credentials.*\n\nIf you majored in Spanish and live in the US, you certainly could do some kind of work with community or non-profit organizations.  \n\nWith languages, diplomatic work also suggests itself as a possibility. \n\nAnother logical choice–not the best choice, necessarily, but something that logically flows from studying several languages–is a graduate degree in linguistics, comparative literature, or the literature of one particular language.  I've studied several Romance languages and Latin, and this is the career path I chose.  Unless you go into linguistics/language acquisition, jobs tend to be hard to come by.\n\nHope that helps.\n\n-Fuz\n\n*One more thing: if you know of some field that you are interested in besides languages, minor in that instead.       Say you like art; minor in art or art history.  That could open up careers in museum/gallery work, for example.

It's tough to break into pretty much any role in forensics, over here now.\n\nI wonder what the international opportunities are like. If there's a shortage and you can get a visa...\n\n\nIf you're set on working in this country, I'd suggest you may need to be willing to start in a smaller role and build your career up.\n\n\nAlso, send speculative application letters to as many prospective employers as possible.\n\n\nIf you're confident of your abilities and have decent credentials, maybe freelance as an expert witness?\n\nThere's a register of expert witnesses you can get listed on - sort of a yellow pages. I'm not sure how you'd get into it though, maybe start by contacting the CPS.
