What is the path to working in diplomacy/international affairs like?
I’m now a college freshman majoring in global studies, which I’m starting to realize is a bit different from the standard international relations degree (my school doesn’t offer this). I’m still interested working in world affairs (dream would be becoming a diplomat or working in an embassy), but I was wondering how people have gotten there. Would it be worth it to transfer to a school with the IR degree, should I wait until graduate school, is grad school even necessary, and what type of internships would be beneficial? Any suggestions would help! #international relations #diplomat #college #graduate-school I realized this is a really loaded question! Thank you to anyone that answers this :)
