Okay, so I decided to do the SWPL thing and get a useless BA in "something I love" (it turns out studying 4 years of international relations and listening to ppl bicker is not something I love). I have applied to law school, but I would still like to explore other career/passive income options in my life. There are a lot of self-education opportunities out there, from books to just online courses, and I have some time before law school. What skills would you suggest I explore? This question is especially geared towards the tim ferris/living global/lifestyle design crowd. Also, law school apps could absolutely go down in flames. I'm looking for some alternative career ideas or even just temporary internships for the next year or two. Given my BA in international relations, what do you think I could do with that? I'm not really interested in diplomacy and don't really want to shelve out money for an MA that will earn me a desk job at some NGO/Bureaucracy.

Don't worry, i'll do some research of my own, but just thought i'd get some ideas from you guys, since everyone on this board seems to be pretty creative and thinks outside the box.

I know several people who have done just what you did and worked at the US/British Chambers of commerce in Shanghai, Beijing, and Singapore. From there, they made massive amounts of connections in business (mostly web 2.0 and import/export) and then started their own businesses or got cool jobs.

Dont do internships for two years, that's too much. Obviously it depends on what countries you are interested in, but there is a US chamber of commerce in every major city in the world. You can browse through them and choose which one you like the best. Foreign language skills may be needed.
