There are usually three fields: 1. STEM -> researching and developing things 2. Business -> producing and distributing things 3. Politics / law / media -> supporting and framing things Where do you feel the most at home? Rules of thumb: a. Aim for quantitative skills / understanding (as much as it's bearable). b. Aim for impact and getting things done. (Don't aim for high impact you can't accomplish or for getting something useless done.) Your studies mentioned let me assume that you're more into the humanities and social sciences than STEM and business. Do psychology if you really can do quantitative work (i.e., statistics, modelling and simulation) and focus on anything with "neuro" or cognitive psychology. Otherwise take politics (and where possible take classes on statistics and quantitative models, economics, law, and some history). That's my first shot. Feel free to tell us more about your strenghts and goals.
