What type of job that has free or paid internships overseas?
I'm a sophomore in high school, and I'm looking for colleges that have
1. cultural anthropology classes so I can major in that
2. Faith based classes like Theology
3. Majors similar to cultural anthropology so I can get two or three majors for the price of one and a half (the classes are mostly the same)
4. Things I should know about study abroad programs
5. Jobs that let me write (ALOT)!

It's not an internship, but teaching English abroad is a fun and rewarding way to get paid while seeing new parts of the world. Sometimes you need special certifications like TEFL/TEOFL, sometimes you need an education degree, but often you just need to have graduated from high school and university in an English-speaking environment.
I lived and taught in Japan and Korea for a few years after college, and my career is in Tech. While the time teaching abroad didn't directly help my career, and in fact set me behind my peers by A LOT, it has indirectly had a major impact on my career and I am further along now than I would have been if I had just stayed in the US and gone directly into tech.

For your academic interests, look for colleges with strong cultural anthropology, theology, and related programs. Consider double or triple majoring in closely related fields like sociology or international studies. Research study abroad programs focusing on cultural immersion and relevant internships. For jobs that involve extensive writing, explore roles in content creation, journalism, technical writing, grant writing, and editing. Seek international internships through online platforms, university services, and professional networks.
