I'm a liberal arts grad and now have worked in the IT world for about 13 years or so...I have an International Studies degree with an emphasis on east europe/Soviet Union affairs (OK it was olden days in the late 80s when the soviet union still existed) and a minor in Russian.
How did I pick this? Well, I wanted a major where I didn't have to get too in depth into anything, LOL. International Studies was a perfect choice. I"ve always been interested in int'l affairs, and the major dabbled in economics, poli sci, history, geography, foreign language, you name it. PERFECT fit.
I always thought I'd be an ambassador some day or end up at the state department or in foreign service but it didn't happen. Still, I'm very happy with how my career path has turned out!
