So I’m going to be a freshmen in ILR next year and I cannot decide what my concentration will be. I applied to ILR for the mix of business and law, I’m not really into the whole human resources/union type stuff so I was looking at either International and Comparative Labor or Labor Economics. I really don’t want to be stuck doing union work because I really see myself in a corporate career. I’m thinking International and Comparative Labor because it really seems like International Business to me which is what I’m interested in. But there is also Labor Economics, which, for lack of a better reason, has economics in its title. So which is more condusive to more pro-business people? Am I just in the wrong major? Should I consider transferring to AEM? How hard is that?

Also, can anyone give me a definitive answer as to whether ILR kids can minor in the AEM minors like finance, international trade, or management?
