[quote=Anonymous]The best way to have a career in IR is to: - Go to an excellent school for IR (Georgetown, Tufts, Johns Hopkins, etc.) - Learn a strategically important language (Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Urdu, etc.) - Travel extensively in the regions corresponding to the languages above (Russia, Middle East, Asia, etc.) - Keep a clean personal record (little to no drug use, keep current on debt payments) - Consider an MA. Not required, but it helps. Then he'll be well-positioned for jobs in international development (WB, IMF) or the intel community (CIA and NSA especially). If he gets those jobs (esp the IC ones) he won't have to do the unpaid internships people were talking about. Internships at those places pay very well ($40-50K salary rate for a summer) and almost always lead to a full-time offer. [/quote]
