I am taking lots of classes in economics and may take some in political science. I might do a masters in conflict resolution or IR. Problem is that these graduate programs prefer people with backgrounds in the social sciences but I am applying to lots of programs and should get into one. I might get a JD in the US and get an LLM in another country and work for a development or human rights organization.

Thanks for sharing your story and I wish you the best with your plans!

If I decided that I wanted to be a diplomat after all and finished college in my country, I don't know how I'll pull of the additional classes relevant to diplomacy (such as economics and political sciences) because they're given on a completely different college than the one I'll be at if I choose Physics. Self-study looks a bit tough, but I'll probably have to get the will if I really want to be a diplomat. I'll have to go see options for grad schools.

Thanks again, your posts opened up my point of view.
