What counts as "work experience" for IR

Applying to College
1

<p>Im currently a undergrad freshman with a double major in Poli Sci and Global Studies. Im looking at grad school right now and I just have one question. What counts as "work experience" for International Relations? Almost all graduate programs require work experience. There seems to be a bunch of jobs teaching English in Iraq. Would that count a "work experience?" What if I just got a menial job at an embassy? Would the military be the best option?</p>

<p>Im totally ignorant on this subject so any info would help.</p>

<p>That you got paid and had to pay taxes. Also some volunteer work counts as work.</p>

<p>I guess I should have asked, “What kind of work is most valued by schools?”</p>

<p>bump.
