Masters degree...where should I take it?
I am entering my first year of university at a Canadian university this year. I want to major in International Relations, and go on to take a masters degree in the same subject. I've always had an obsession with Finland--the society, politics, the people--it fascinates me. My dream job would be to be the Canadian ambassador to Finland.
So would it be more beneficial for me to take my masters degree at a Canadian/American university, or at a Finnish one? Which one would help my career more?

Well, the more you know about Findland, the more likely that you would be asked to be an ambassador. But you know that Ambassadorialships are appointed by the leader of your country. I think you have to be in politics for a long time, and make political connections in order to be considered for an ambasadorial position. Majoring in International Relations is a good start. You would also want to take course in International Business, Globalization, World Finance. You might want to work for a non profit like the UN or OXFAM. And make a name for yourself. I suggest you get hold of a copy of THE ECONOMIST Magazine. That magazine has worldwide distribution. IN it are ads for positions all over the world. Many of them are for foreign governments. It will give you an idea of what governments are looking for as far as education experience. There are also some advertisments from universities from developed nations. It could help you made decisions on what your next move should be. Good luck to you, your choice of a career sounds very exciting.

I doubt that where you get the degree is important. I suggest making your decision based on cost and which program interests you more.
It really does not matter where you obtain your master's degree, so since it doesn't matter, take the less expensive route. =]
