<p>I am a freshman undergraduate and I still am doing my requisite courses for my University Course Curriculum. The problem is I have an issue with picking my major. Actually, I already have decided on a major - Biomedical Engineering. I am also enrolled in it. The thing is, this thought of changing my major is increasingly affecting me. I am interested in doing International Relations. But because IR isn't reliable in terms of salary, I picked Engineering. I want to have a foundation in my Bsc Engineering which I can always look back at if I have an job difficulties. My main target is IR though. I've thought of blending Engineering and IR to help countries that are medically deprived with certain medical technology etc. Various ideas...
It's not that I dislike Engineering. I am interested in the concept of blending biological notions with technology. The math part is something I dislike but will have to do it. I was thinking of doing Engineering then a Master's in IR/Political Sciences. I feel IR is my thing too because I have the qualities for it, I am an efficient public speaker, I speak around 6 languages, I know about plenty cultural and social issues. I want to work for the UN or EU. I lived in Africa and the Middle East. These are just factors. I still have trouble because doing what you want best is not always beneficial financially. And I like both majors. I currently have decided to do a Minor in IR.</p>
<p>I hope you guys can give me some feed back, thank you very much !</p>
