International Business
It makes sense to major in something with international in the title if you plan to be an international citizen in the future! The great thing is that the majority of international business programs offer lots of opportunities to study abroad for a semester or year, so you can get a taste of travel even before you have finished your degree.
Studying international business not only opens up a world of opportunities post-graduation but also provides a profound understanding of the global marketplace. Economic policies, cultural nuances, and international regulations will become your forte. As you dive into courses like international marketing, cross-cultural communication, and global finance, you'll develop a skill set that's in high demand all over the world. Companies with an international reach often seek out graduates who can help them navigate the complexities of conducting business across borders. This means once your jet-setting studies are done, you're well placed to keep your passport stamped with business trips!

The very same thing goes for international relations. Opportunity for travel is rife within this sector, not to mention the fact that you could be travelling to head to work for an extremely worthy cause. It is the perfect college major for someone who is looking to make a real difference in the world, especially in places outside of their immediate culture.

Photography
What's better than travelling around the world and getting paid for the photos that you would be taking whether you had a proper job or not? Of course, you need some level of natural talent to become a great photographer, but it’s a super cool major to have if that is your dream, and the extra education and skill will definitely help you to be a more professional international photographer.
