Political Majors?

Hi,

I’ll just start this one off by stating that I don’t really want to write a whole life story that leads to some sort of epiphany which then leads me to somehow discover what my purpose is in life. Rather, I’ll just make this short and sweet to the point.

Born in NY and mostly grown in WV, college is in 2 years and I’m looking for a major to pick. Particularly, my interest tends to lay in Politics. For the longest, I’ve always been one for politics. I’ve participated in clubs in school related to that pathway, I’m always constantly watching the news, and a few friends of my family are already in the political field. So, I’ve concluded that I’d like to go down that path while hopefully meeting a few goals.

Ideally, I’d like to pick a major where I can make a decent middle class salary, do what I enjoy (obviously), and move back & live in New York at the same time while still not trying to kill myself. Since New York is pretty expensive, I’m hoping I can find a major where I can earn at least 3k+ in any of these field. I’ve taken a look at international relations and a law degree, but I’m still unsure about what exactly I should pick for someone like myself who has an interest particularly in world politics.

So, if anyone has any insight, I’d really feel a lot better if someone could throw some advice towards my direction.
