Have you been to those countries already? That is impressive.

Don't go to law school unless you want to be a lawyer, and by that I mean, don't go unless you want to be a lawyer who does not get to do anything cool ever and who works all the time- because that is what will probably happen if you go to law school. Lots of debt, terrible competition for jobs, and most jobs are pure drudgery.

You're better off looking for a specialized graduate program that feeds into an agency you would like to work for internationally. You might want to look at programs abroad or programs that are good at placing students abroad. Your undergraduate major does not matter as long as it gets you to that program.

I've known international studies people to do fulbrights (a couple lucky ones), go to peace corps, teach english in other countries, and things like that right after graduating.
