Help me find direction

<p>Hi, I am an anthropology major at a top 25 LAC. What I really want to do someday is get a job dealing with International development in some way. In order to help me prepare for this, I am planning to go to grad school for either International development or development sociology. Most likely International development because I view it as more practical. </p>

<p>I assume economics would be good coursework to help me prepare for this, but being a sophomore, I don't have enough time for a business minor. My other two thoughts are to minor in Science and technology studies or to minor in administrative science. </p>

<p>Administrative science would allow me to get a good understanding of business, which I would think would help me prepare for an international agriculture MPS program. Even if it wouldn't it would definitely be practical for my career goals and would incorporate two economics courses.</p>

<p>Science and Technology studies on the other hand would be more beneficial for getting into a development sociology program I would think. I'm not sure how beneficial it would be for an international Ag MPS. However, it definitely wouldn't give me the business insight and wouldn't incorporate economics. I could always take a few economics courses on the side though.</p>

<p>What do you guys think would be the better option for me? Also, I'm open to other ideas if neither of those sound like good plans.</p>

<p>anybody have any insight. Would business classes help prepare me for an international development program?</p>

<p>Just take those courses. Don’t do a minor in those areas unless you think you’ll enjoy ALL the required courses.</p>

<p>If anything, you really should be looking for practical experience such as volunteer work or an internship. Even better, if you have an interest in a particular region or country, learn the language! I have seen so many “international development” jobs for Latin America and they all require/prefer fluency in Spanish.</p>
