<p>What types of careers involve a major in IR?</p>
<p>Most people who pursue a degree in IR, have a “long term” plan: law school, political office, perhaps a graduate degree in business or the like. Having a degree in just IR would put you in the same position as having a degree in Sociology - entry level work where the only requirement is an undergrad degree.</p>
<p>Well Barack Obama was an international relations major at Columbia. So you know, if you’re not feeling corporate law or an MBA you could always become president.</p>
