<p>By “overseas”. I mean the working in multiple different countries, not just outside the U.S.</p>
<p>If you check out the requirements for a U.N. career as a professional doing foreign service, you will need prior job experience in something practical. A double major in PolySci & IR may not get you the 1st job you will need to get you the work experience to qualify for a U.N. professional job.</p>
<p>I’ve had conversations about this w a U.N. regional chief, because I was asking for info for my son, about how to pursue a U.N. career. The U.N. expects it’s expatriate professional staff to be competent in something else besides “the political side.”</p>
