I am almost the same way as you. Replace internetional economics with cultural anthropology though. I just took basic macroeconomics last semester though, and I would feel like a degree in econ instead would be more helpful. Also taking sustainable development, with a geog minor, and other helpful things but I really feel I should've gone the economics route sometimes. :\
I don't wanna work for NGOs because most of them seem to connected to top down level projects which usually eliminate developing countries' political and economic sovereignty. But I am just hoping and praying that when my research is done and I graduated everything that I can find a good NGO that I think is actually doing good work. I think with an int'l economics degree you can look for similar kind of work opportunities, especially if you love to travel for your research.
Anyone, especially OP feel free to tell me I'm a naive student full of shit and correct me. But I am facing a similar dilemma in terms of practical jobs and my ability to express myself socially while still keeping an ok position in the man's world.
