What kind of jobs can you get with an International Relations degree?

Question by : What kind of jobs can you get with an International Relations degree?
Well I am 14, going to high school, and I’m beginning to think a lot about what I should do in my life. I was always an international person, being raised up in many countries and coming from a very international family. I speak English, Mandarin, and Japanese naturally and studies French and ASL. I knew from when I was young that I wanted to work where I get to explore many more countries and experience things that most people won’t.

One of my school’s alumni studies international relations at USC and by the name of it, it sounded very interesting. I was not aware of it until I heard it from him. And with furthermore research, I found out that the name of the degree explains it all, it is the study of “International Relations.”

But what kind of jobs can I get with this degree?
What can I do to prepare for this?
Also, I am not very fond of being SUPER rich, but I am aware that I need to get a stable job for the future. So, will whatever the job I can get this degree kind of promises stable financial life?

Thanks!
