<p>Hello, I have the following dilemma. I want to pursue a Masters degree in International Affairs (International Relations) at Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs. There, I have to take a concentration in one of the following: Economic and Political Development, Energy & Environment, Human Rights, International Finance and Economic Policy, International Security Policy, or Urban and Social Policy.</p>
<p>I have an undergraduate degree in History and Political Science. Therefore, the concentrations that I know most about are International Security Policy and Economic & Political Development. However, I do not want to work for the government, for NGOs or INGOs, but for a private sector company, especially a consulting firm. Plus, I want to learn something new like Energy Management (Energy & Environment concentration) or Finance... </p>
<p>The problem is that I do not know much about energy or energy management (my friend talked me out of going into Finance because of its rigorous math), so would it make any sense to go for that concentration?</p>
