<p>My objective is to work abroad as an expat, either with the State Department (eg administration in a consulate) or, as a backup if I can't get that kind of job right away, teaching English abroad. I'm also interested in museums and culture and would love to work in a museum abroad in administration, but I know it's a long shot.</p>
<p>I want to major in International Studies, and minor in Business to facilitate these career goals. Would I have to officially declare education as a major or minor to be able to teach English abroad, or would an ESL teacher certification from the state be adequate to be considered? And is the time I spend learning foreign languages adequate, or do I need to officially "declare" them as majors or minors? I'm sure there's a limit on how many majors and minors are possible so I hope coursework will "count" for my future career goals even if it is not officially declared major or minor. I would love a second minor in art history instead of having To "spend" it on education or language. But I will take one language all four years and a second maybe as long. Maybe I could take some kind of language certification tests in lieu of "majoring" in them?</p>
<p>I don't know if I want to focus on Europe or Asia either. I am more interested in Europe, but with the European Union I worry demand will be low for English speakers now that the British can move freely to the continent. I wish I could do both and cover my bases, first choice and second. Then again, I have considered Russia as a third focus option. (Decisions decisions!)</p>
