<p>Alzenauer, warum glaubst du, dass Harvard total sheisse ist?</p>
<p>I’ve heard that IR isn’t a direct career as such…what kind of job openings does it have and if diplomacy is one of them what procedure is one to adopt in order to start working.</p>
<p>I live in india, dual citizenship (indo-german) and fluent in german.</p>
<p>The difference in educational system is so vast that Im not sure a degree in IR at Princeton or Tufts would allow me a passage into a foreign services position. This is because in India the process includes taking an administrative services exam followed by rigorous interviews etc. ( avg. prep of 2 years).</p>
<p>So in the end what Im trying to ask you guys is if an IR degree allows you an entry into the foreign services??
(Sry if this post or parts of it seem incoherent or pointless…got a bad cold… :(</p>
<p>You’re a smart kid it seems and it surprises me that you have to have spelled out that an education in something like international relations can lead to a career. The IR field will leave you with a breadth of knowledge of how the world works politically, diplomatically, socially, culturally, linguistically, historically, and philosophically. You will be a great candidate for any kind of political/diplomatic/journalistic/non-profit type job.</p>
<p>Get a girlfriend. or boyfriend if that suits you. but get off of here. Ninth grade is when I still wanted to be progessional scuba diver. haha. just get good grades and worry about college when you’re a senior. You obviously can’t gauge anything now. There’s nothing there to gauge.</p>
