the OP might well be in high school; there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. Also, Polo, he does not need to share details about his/her background. S/he might hypothetically ask, what are the better routes to get a job in X industry? People should be able to answer such questions without prying for personal information. Unless, of course, they were trying to recruit them for the national guard or the marines. :)

OP: an MPP degree might be a better route than an MBA…

If you attend an elite MBA program and network, you should also be able to do break into “international politics” (by which I assume you mean multi-lateral organizations such as the UN and the World Bank).

The MPA at Princeton might be your best bet, if you can get in (it’s free). So, if you are still in high school, make sure you plan in advance to make the pieces fall into place easier… Go and fix something in Darfur or elsewhere in Africa…
