<p>im thinking about majoring in international relations/affairs in college...and im wondering, what types of jobs can i get at the UN/how do i get to work at the UN? i mean, internships are obvious...</p>
<p>i guess i just really want to know what im getting into</p>
<p>and i know this is the high school forum, but if anyone knows of anyone who majors in international relations, please let me know what its like!</p>
<p>I'd like to know, too. :) I'm very interested in international relations. However, I sort of worry that most international relations majors end up in the business arena, which I'm not really into. They say learn lots of languages, go to a decent school, get connections, and see where it leads you. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>i know some jobs are in particular demand for the UN such as certified language speakers, I would also like to know any oppurtunities for high school students in the UN, I am fascinated by and intend to major in Sociology, or anyything pertaining to social justice</p>
<p>watch the movie trailer for "the intrepretor" at apple.com</p>
<p>Look at their website - <a href="http://www.un.org%5B/url%5D">www.un.org</a> - and you'll find job postings with required qualifications as well as intern and volunteer info. I just found out that English and French are the two working languages of the UN Secretariat, so if you have a desire to work at the UN, I'd suggest mastering those two languages and building from there.</p>
