<p>As the title states, im looking for a job, where I can work for the government, prior to grad school(if I choose to do so.) I know I want to major in economics, because that's always been something I've enjoyed doing. But want to major in something more government related. What is a major, that could help me get a job with the government? I would love to work overseas or maybe the UN.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<li>Public Policy Studies</li>
<li>International Relations</li>
<li>Economics (as you stated)</li>

<p>You could always double major. (Econ + one of the others mentioned)</p>

<p>Actually, a major, or at least coursework, related to homeland security might be the way to go --- see the following article: <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/04/29/AR2005042901344.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/04/29/AR2005042901344.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>
