Is a Degree in Global Studies Desirable for the Job Market?

<p>Just been accepted to a great college called LIU Global, where I will be majoring in Global Studies, learning about human rights, economic development, government, diplomacy, customs, culture and the several languages of the different countries I will go to. First year will be in Costa Rica learning Spanish, traveling all across Central and South America as part of my studies. I will do the same in India, also for a year and in China and Australia as well. After I graduate, I will have become proficient in Spanish, Hindi and Chinese and hopefully fluent in one. My goal is to work for the federal gov't or some international organization, like the United Nations. Do you think I will be desirable for the job market after this?</p>

<p>There seems to be plenty of opportunities for a global studies major. Lots of possible jobs and careers involving international relations, international trade, etc. The world is becoming global connected in all facets of the marketplace so global studies seems more and more appropriate.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>In general, there are far more recent grads that want to work for the UN / interesting NGOs, etc., than there are job openings. </p>

<p>I know quite a few people that majored in “global studies”, “international studies”, etc., and loved studying it, but their current jobs have nothing to do with that.</p>

<p>There are far more boring entry-level accounting jobs in the world than there are interesting entry-level global studies jobs.</p>
