This semester is gearing up to be another from hell but only because of my own poor class choices. It appears my aspirations of International Studies being the major for me are officially dead, because I can't stand the pre-requisite classes, which are essentially politics and economics, I'm taking for it.

For all my protesting, it certianly looks as though that's where I'm headed. I wouldn't mind at least minoring in English as well.

I really like the idea of teaching English as a second language in Spain somewhere. ;) You have no idea how addicted to my prof's voice I am. The slight lisp and the R rolling, guh. Oh, but I love the French R sound as well, and am very impressed you can do it. :)

Believe it or not, I went to see my Latin American studies prof, who heads the International Studies program, and he essentially said I can go into politics or business and be a polital risk analyst. *gag*

I also spoke with a friend of my aunt's who is a marketing manager who began as a graphic designer. She was very nice, and it was wonderful to see what it was she did, but I wouldn't want her job.

I guess what it comes down to is who or what exactly would benefit the most from whatever my job is. Would I really give that much of a shit to make a company money (by being in marketing or a political risk analysist), so when I retire early off what could be a huge salary, I can say, "I helped build/market this company, etc,"? Probably not.

I may just join the Peace Corp. They need people to teach English don't they?

I can see you in the Peace Corps--of course that doesn't solve your dilemma of what to major in. But I'd imagine that anyone with a degree in Spanish would have a world of opportunites. ESL is huge now, so far as teaching, esp in your neck of the woods.
