Diplomacy could be cool, but from what I gather, FSOs move around a lot. So I could take Japanese in college, but end up in some other random country.

UW grad who took several Jackson school courses here. The classes are interesting, just be forewarned that "Asian Studies" is a meme full of Chinese international students who use it for easy grades and isn't looked on that highly.

Just seems odd to me that you focus and learn about an area intensively in college, only to barely see that country (if at all).
