<p>So I really don't know what major to pursue. So I'd appreciate it if you guys could tell me the job opportunities that one with the following majors would have, and which of the majors I list would result in an easier time finding a job:</p>
<p>International Relations
Anthropology
International Development
Linguistics
Psychology
Journalism</p>
<p>Also, I'd appreciate if you could tell me any minors/ second majors that could be paired with the above majors for a good combination, and what job this would help with.</p>
<p>Thank you very much!</p>
<p>I don’t know what the job prospects are with those degrees, but I do know that with International Relations and with International Development you should have strong language skills and likely some sort of training in area studies or Economics.</p>
<p>When you say that you want to get a major that gives you the best job opportunities, it seems to me that all you want is A job, ANY job, and want a high pay.</p>
<p>I think that’s the wrong way of going about things.</p>
<p>You should do something you LIKE to do. You should major in an area you enjoy learning about, and get a job that you will actually enjoy. A teacher making 50k a year who loves being around kids is going to be happier than an investment banker making 170k a year working 90 hours a week who is only doing it for the money.</p>
<p>Well, yes, I have chosen these majors because they are ones that I am interested in. But now I don’t know which to choose, so I’d just like to know benefits of certain ones over others.</p>
<p>They all have marginally the same salary prospects within a narrow band of careers</p>
<p>Well, could you please be more specific regarding the actual career possibilities?</p>
<p>Psychology with an HR focus (or if your school offers a labor relations major) - Human resource positions are good to get into early as internships and have plenty of advancement opportunities in various areas of specialty, including recruitment, benefits administration, compensation, etc. </p>
<p>Psychology and business management</p>
<p>Not sure about the rest.</p>
<p>If you can, begin college as an undeclared major. Take some courses in these areas that interest you. Chat with your academic advisor and professors. Declare a major after your freshman year. If you can’t start college undeclared, then pick one and you can consider changing it later.</p>
