[quote=Anonymous]I was an IR major in the 90s at UVA. Ask your kid what they like about it. Is it the travel aspect? The politics? The way counties interact? The history? There are similar majors: history, geography, political science, languages, etc. Knowing what interests your kid about it will help you understand where they might need to pivot for other jobs. But yes it is a typical law school, federal government or think tank job path. For me it taught me to write well, understand the history and politics of other countries, and those have been great for the job I have now with a global Fortune 500. I went back and got a statistics masters 20 years ago to get into my current field of data analysis. [/quote]
