Finance or International Business Major

Hi Gurus of WSO,

I am in the middle of getting my Bachelor's degree. I have completed most of the elective, and some of the business courses. Now, I have to choose the major. I would like to pursue a career on the international level, is it international business or international relations. Unfortunately, my school does not provide double majors or International Relations major. It is also sad that I cannot change a school due to many reasons.

Ok, enough complaints. I have couple of options: Finance, International Business, Political Science. Which do you think would be most beneficial for me, if I chose to pursue a career on international level (IB analist, political advisor etc.) I would like to hear your advices before making the decision.

P.S I currently reside in NYC. I am 21 years old, and I fluently speak on three languages. I have double, American and EU citizenships.

Thank you all very much!
