Yasmine Mirhaji, a student at American University, represents many whose career aspirations in international service are crumbling due to drastic changes in federal employment under the Trump administration. With funding cuts and job reductions affecting agencies vital for international relations careers, students find many prospective roles disappearing. Mirhaji is shifting her focus away from federal work to law or graduate studies, lamenting that her plans are derailed and job opportunities promised by educators are no longer available.
All my plans are scrapped. So many of the jobs our professors have proposed to us as potential opportunities don't exist anymore.
Mirhaji and the thousands of undergraduate and graduate students like her have watched their career plans seemingly dissolve in recent weeks.
