Major Advice Please?!

[zneast]

<p>I'm a 27 yo community college transfer student now entering 4 year university. My ideal job would be working in some form of government ideally like a foreign service officer, civil officer, or perhaps UN. I was reading their qualifications and most did not specify a specific degree. I'm going into school thinking of majoring in Political Science maybe minoring in international studies or econ. I guess my questions are what majors would set me apart from others if i were to apply into the government? Also I've heard some people rag on political science. I've even heard some go as far as to say its a "useless" degree is this true? Im completely overwhelmed by math so degrees containing math are out of the picture for me. Is political science a sufficient degree or is it best to pair with something else? so confused, Thanks.</p>
