<p>I've been doing a lot of research lately as to what I want to major in. International relations have always been my prime interest, however, many schools are no so clear as to what this entails. More specifically, I wish to someday be a diplomat (doing work similar to an ambassador's, which would be my ideal aim, although obviously this will take a lot of social cultivation and is unlikely for most people in the field). But ultimately, I want to be on the forefront of international politics. I want to solve world conflicts, such as foreign insurgencies, civil wars, etc. that the United States has vested interest in. I'm not particularly interested in working for a company, but rather for a government (and not academic work, but field work). </p>
<p>So, my question, what do I really want to do? Is an International Relations major what I'm looking for? </p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
