How can one become an Ambassador?

Question

How can one become an Ambassador?

Answer 1

Before becoming an adult, you apply yourself to learning various languages and other nations cultures ... you don't just learn a particular language, you become an expert in the people who speak that language.

You join the foreign service of your nation & work your way up the ranks.  If you cannot get in there, you do similar kind of work, or something that will bring you to the attention of political leadership, such as being a successful actor ... remember Shirley Temple Black?  She was a popular child actress ... in later life she was selected to be an Ambassador for the USA.

At the same time you pick a political party and contribute to election campaigns, so that in the future, people who get elected and want to do something to help those who helped them get elected, may ask you what job you want in their administration.  Tell them about the languages you know, your interest in other nations, your wish to be ambassador for your country to those nations.

At the same time you do good work in areas of academia and charity that show you are the kind of person your nation wants as a representative.  In other words, your every word and deed is that of a good citizen.

Answer 2

Make a large donation to the political party that wins the Presidency.  All Ambassadors are political appointees.

Answer 3

Study International Relations, learn a foreign language or two, do an internship at the State Department (it's easy once you're in College with good grades), become involved in Student Government and with the youth organizations of the Democratic or Republican party, assist in campaigns and apply for a public service job, take a semester overseas (it's cheap and easy once you're in College).

By the time you graduate, you'll have everything in place to start working in the field (not as an ambassador yet, but you can grow into it as a career and you'll have fun going to different countries and meeting different people).

Of course, the shortcut mentioned by everyone else is valid: Make a large donation to the winning presidential candidate and rub elbows with the "beltway boys" (political jet set in Washington), then no experience or education is needed.

Answer 4

one must be born with a silver spoon in ones mouth

Answer 5

You must be rubbing elbows with the powerful and wealthy

Answer 6

Contribute a lot of money to the winner's campaign.
