[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe people are pushing philosophy majors here...last I heard they made less than English majors. Sure, you might get lucky and have your resume read by the philosophy major hiring manager but it's much better to have a viable major with philosophy as a minor.[/quote]

We move in different circles then. Agree that other coursework is useful to signal intent to hiring managers (IR, poli sci, econ …). Getting multiple internships in those fields while still in college has not been impossible for DS, but he was very diligent and also fairly open minded and cast a wide net in east coast cities. Post grad will be a policy analyst type job for a couple of years, then law school, then niche practice that 100% cannot be replaced by AI because of its dependence on relationships among multi national groups.

Like I said, have a plan. Which starts with internships and ECs when you are still 19.  The hiring people in the legal department or government relations section will recognize you if you show seriousness of purpose — no matter their own majors
