Jason’s Answer

International Relations is a vast field and peace between countries takes many paths. It can be economic in the sense of foreign aid, trade agreements or shared technologies. It can be socially in the sense of human rights, access to education or as peacekeepers. It can also be political, in the sense of alliances, treaties or election support. As you think about jobs, think about how countries interact with each other and where/how you can work with your counterpart in another country to help bring that peace. It can be in through a government agency, IGO, NGO or private business.

Randy’s Answer

Perhaps you could look at the State Department and take the Foreign Service Exam. You could also look at joining the US Peace Corps. You could also look at USAID if your interested in development, or maybe the US Institute for Peace (USIP).

Dongseuk’s Answer

There are many options you may pursue your career after majoring international relations. And I see many good examples where experts already answered to your questions. But I also would like to suggest to pursue your career not limited to your major as many people are developing and successfully developed their career not limiting their majors in college.
