If you are considering international affairs and political science as an undergraduate degree, than think about going for a law degree. This is a good lead into elected office, if that is what you desire. If you want to be in government but don't want to campaign for office, then consider a Master of Public Administration and join the ranks of bureaucrats who make the machine actually work. If you prefer private sector management, then go for the MBA, but do it at a well-known university. Obviously Harvard, Pepperdine, Stanford, et al come to mind but there are others that are solid without costing 35k per year.

Remember these Kaiser: Integrity, Vision, Commitment, and Ability. If you have 'em all in equal measure, then nothing can stop you. I can vouch for that personally.
Well, I was thinking about going into diplomacy actually. Maybe Asian diplomacy? I mean, I'm moderatly interested in Asian politics in general and I'm very much into the Taiwan-China conflict, as well as the situation of the Koreas.

Thanks for the advice, I'm definatly considering my doctorate in Political Science. I still got a few years to think about it, but I'll definatly consider what you've said.
