All social studies and history classes, along with English, are the most important for you if you want to major in either area. A good knowledge of a foreign language would also help.If your school has a Political Affairs Club, join it. Also, with the elections coming up in November, select a candidate you can endorse and volunteer to get that person elected. Call the candidate's campaign headquarters, and I guarantee you they will have a number of things for you to do. This will help you understand the political process better. Good luck!!

Master a foreign language or two. Very important. It will go a long way to help you in a career in international affairs. Also, focus on writing and communication skills. After that, history and current affairs will help, as well as a class dealing with macro-economics.

As for clubs, a debate club is a good idea, or anything where you will have to tackle issues and present solutions. If it is still around, try "Future Problem Solvers" (or Causers as we used to call it). If any of clubs allow you to travel abroad, consider joining those. The United Nations also has programs for high school students, which will allow you to participate in a mock congress.

There is a very wide range of jobs available through the US State Department. As such , you should look at the US State Department's web site for job offerings and what kind of background for which they are looking. Don't be afraid to call your congressperson and see if you can do a internship with them. You will begin to develop a network of contacts that way.
