<p>I considered German as a major but couldn’t find any SUPERB departments anywhere. I didn’t really want to go anywhere the department wasn’t outstanding. And then I didn’t know what job I would have… because I don’t want to be a teacher. So now I will most likely do IR with a German minor. That way when applying for jobs, I would look more solid with the IR background. You could do something like that and then work abroad in Germany, or with a German business, German relations… etc. IR is a safer route in my opinion.</p>
