What careers involve current events and politics?

I am very interested in current events and politics. I love reading about what is going on in the world and specifically war and terror. I am interested in the economy and issues at home. What careers are involved with these interests? I am looking into finance too but these jobs seem boring. They make a lot of money but I want to do something I am passionate about too. I love thinking of solutions to the problems the world has. Any help? Thanks so much!
P.S. I am a first year student at Ohio State by the way.

Journalism sounds like something you would enjoy. However, Ohio University in Athens actually has a much better school of journalism than OSU. If you get serious about it, you should look into transferring. OU’s Scripp’s School of Journalism is ranked #7 in the country.
