Rechoosing My Major?
I want to help people. I want to travel. So I was thinking about one of the following:
Cultural Anthropology
Sociology
Criminal Justice
Philosophy
International Studies
Journalism
Business
But I have no idea what I could use them for? If anyone has any combinations of the above or new ideas please share them, and why.
I dont want anything medical or sciencey.
After completing college in 2.5 to 3 years I plan to travel for a year and then work as an Au Pair in France for a year and Spain for a year.
Any thoughts would be great. Thanks

You could also major in a language and work as a translator for a foreign company.
Sociology/Philosophy will not really get you anything.
Of the majors you have listed business and criminal justice seem the most wise. Of course, you should follow those up with Grad school! get your law degree or your MBA after graduation.
Journalism is an okay major if you have a real passion for it and intend to work for a newspaper or magazine.
Anthropology is not a career where the jobs are abundant. If you got a PhD maybe you could teach.
Sociology is an interesting field and there are jobs out there for it, but you would have to get a Masters atleast and from the sound of it, you arent interested in being in school that long.
Philosophy is a good career if you want to teach and you need a Masters degree and preferably a PhD.
Business to me is the best degree you can get as just a 4 year major. You will not need to go to graduate school to get a decent job. If you did business with a minor in Criminal Justice that would still be soemthing the FBI would want if you decide to go that route.
I am a Criminology major but I will be getting an Accounting masters so that I can be more desirable to employers but that is just me.
I say getting atleast a Masters is always best but that is up to you.
But if you want to help people, criminal justice sounds pretty good. You can become a lawyer, police, FBI (like u mentioned) or other public service personels.
This may be fun for you. Just an idea.
