Should i go to law school first after college or grad school for international relations?

i want to work in the state department

Graduate School, most definitely. If you really feel you need to under politics/law, take a political philosophy minor.

I'd really spend some time to consider law school. A lot of lawyers aren't making anything these days, and the debt these days is skyrocketing. I just loaned a 20 year practicing lawyer a couple grand to make his bills, honest to God.

I graduated with honors in PoliSci, and now own a business in a completely unrelated field.

You can probably get on with the State Department with a bachelors. Just give them a call and see what they need. Maybe even try an internship. Just figure out what you need to do before you spend all of that money! Hope this helps.
