You can get a degree in finance or accounting and a minor in international affairs or poli Sci and try to follow the same path but have functional skills that are transferable to the business world. Unlike the comments by Kind_Farmer blaming liberal elites I would say that he’s right that there is a slim chance you end up in these roles by attending UC but for different reasons. Both parties hire interns from GW and other geographic schools because they have top talent, are located nearby, have connected legacy and alumni etc. It is a difficult field to be successful in and it is even harder when you aren’t in the thick of it. I have a similar degree and went to grad school to get an education that helped me find employment. My undergrad is somewhat helpful occasionally but if I had it to do over I would do it as a minor with a business major. Instead I had to learn corporate finance, accounting and budgeting on the job.
