<p>Law degree. He could continue school and get a JD and use his already technical background and interest to apply a legal focus on technology and intellectual property.</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>He can use his existing Journalism degree and work for the US Department of State as a foreign service officer. They provide additional training (6 months) and highly value journalism and english majors since communication is a key component for working in the government. They have various career tracks that you can check out here [U.S</a>. Department of State Careers - Foreign Service Officer](<a href=“http://careers.state.gov/officer/index.html]U.S”>Foreign Service Officer - Careers)</p>
<p>I am in the same shoes as him. High gpa, journalism background (although majored in communication) and having a rough time seeking a job. I am in the middle of law school applications and would consider working for the government after I receive my JD.</p>
<p>Hope this helps</p>
