I keep hearing people tell me that just about anybody with any major can get into law school as long as they have amazing grades. Other people say International Relations majors are useless. I need to know as soon as possible! I'm a freshman in college and I know I shouldn't worry about it very much since I have another two years before I transfer to a UC, but I need to at least understand my options! I want to be 100% sure by next year what I want to do. I do know I don't want to be an International Lawyer though. It doesn't seem like I could do much with it.
I'd like to hear from lawyers, law students or future law students that are ahead of me in education. Or maybe a counselor. My own counselor wasn't very helpful. I'd like any tips from y'all. I'm the second in my entire family (All 38 cousins and their parents) to graduate from high school and the first to actually go to college. I'm confused and need all the help I can get.

As long as you don't major in criminal justice, I think you'll be okay. If international relations is what you like, go for it. Just get good grades and do well within the major--look for internship opportunities, research assistant opportunities, and anything else that could help expand your resume, etc.
