Mortgage broker or title agent? I also agree with the PP who said car sales.

Just want to point out that the road to foreign service officer jobs is also highly competitive, many people get grad degrees, and it is more than a little bit of travel it is living outside the country for years at a time. Great job but an applicant needs to be focused and on the ball. Not a fallback job.

If she goes to a good college and get good grades, a lot of big law firms hire college grads as paralegals. They make decent $ and can actually see how attorneys live and work. If in a couple of years she decides this life is not for her, it's fairly easy to move into an administrative law firm role from that position.

This can be lucrative and has a low bar.


But can you get into it with a poly sci degree?

If you want IR related fields AND make load of money, enjoy meaningful work for 5-10 years, gain experience, then move to private sector.

Ones going in such fields are after purpose, ambition and prestige, not dollars and cents. If you are interested in money, add a lucrative minor and go into finance or consulting. IR doesn't limit smart students, specially ones from top colleges. Ones not going far are limited by ability, not by their major.
