The jobs most suited for an IS/IR major looking for international opportunities are the ones you say you don’t want. If you happen to have EU citizenship, it’s a little easier since you don’t need a permit to work in a company in Europe, but if you don’t, your opportunities are limited. If your GPA is high enough, you could look at business opportunities with major banks or consulting companies based in Japan, but it’d be tough.

A minor in a language isn’t all that important. If you’re fluent, you’re fluent.

Nursing and international studies are vastly different degrees whose graduates typically have completely different goals. Only you can decide what is best for you when you’re looking at going completely different directions. The career center is probably your best bet.
