Hello all! I am currently a freshman at UC San Diego. I am a pre-law student and I was wonder which would be a better major for me International Studies - Economics (emphasis in econ) or Poli Sci - International Relations. I find both very interesting. However, I am much better at writing/reading than math. Some of the econ classes I would have to take are very math-centric. I believe I will get a better GPA as a Poli Sci major; however, if law school doesn’t pan out, I don’t think a poli sci degree will help me in the workforce. What would be the best decision: do Int’l Studies with a lower GPA and better employment prospects or do Poli Sci and have a higher GPA and less employability? Any advice would really help!
