How can I become an aid worker?

How can a person become a humanitarian aid worker overseas, what degrees in college should they focuse on?

  • I am a college student interseted in helping people produce the correct types of food for their living locations. I would like to deal with people in need overseas but cannot figgure out if an animal science degree or something in the humanitys would be more helpful.

  • Answer:

    You could go for a public health degree (I know there are ones at the Master's level for this...and probably some related ones for undergraduate degrees), or a degree in International Relations. It also sounds like you are interested in agricultural work, so a degree in Agriculture or Food Science might be appropriate.

According to the Peace Corps, it doesn't matter. That's just one organization, of course, but considering how large and well-established they are, it's probably a good perspective to have.
