Is philosophy a good major for this? With a minor in computer science or statistics.

How did they get into that? DD is interested in that route and we just aren’t sure what type of majors work best for this.


They've just always been interested in that field. My younger son is currently at Virginia Tech, majoring in National Security and Foreign Affairs. Fantastic major!

DS is at the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington. He's not looking for a government job specifically, but he's interested in geopolitics generally. And as PP said, he's doing it as a BS, not a BA, with data science courses.

Any social science or humanities degree, but especially economics, political science, history, philosophy, and English. Add some data science electives and you’re golden.

Math is not my kid's strong subject and not interested in IT (as a career).

What other degree options are out there for Government type jobs for guys?

He's a good problem-solver, great persuasive writer, very social. Not interested in Sales.
