How to become a diplomat?

Question

My boyfriend is a high flyin' executive and we have dreams of him becoming a diplomat so that I can be his Diplomat's Trophy Wife. I was born to shop and host elegant soirees so please, what is step 1?

ps - my hair is almost long enough to tease into Ivana Trump like proportions so time is truly at hand!!!

Answer 1

In view of your obvious gift for socializing at elegant soirees  with your privileged peers, I would suggest that your husband  simply skip the tedious early stages of the diplomatic career ladder and jump immediately into an ambassadorship.  The best way to do this is to make VERY generous contributions to the campaign of the presidential candidate of your choice, accompanied by broad hints of what you expect in return.  Do be sure to indicate clearly that you have no interest in countries where people speak those funny-sounding languages, eat yucky food, and dress in strange garb.  After all, you wouldn't want to waste your considerable social talents on the semi-civilized, would you?

Answer 2

if you can lie with a straight face, convince someone that the smell of their farts is as pleasing as a field of roses, and convince them you like them long enough for you to get what you want from them, then you'll make it.

you wouldnt be able to shop around like that as a diplomat trophy wife, most likely you'd be thrown to some troubled hot-spot with hardly any runing water coz your government wants to get the oil thats there, then after all that, the only people you'd be entertainin are the smelly people you said you'd convince you loved. you want the easy life, you probably got it already, and you wont know it till its gone.

Answer 3

You must be appointed by the President the aproved by the Senate.

Answer 4

The truth is wealthy people donate huge contributions to politicians to get those jobs.

Answer 5

This is a joke, of course, even if you are being serious.

For those seriously wanting to know, then for US citizens, it is either by merit or mischief, through the Foreign Service of the Department of State, or by political appointment.

Note:  If you can't even make a souffle, you have no business in international affairs - you are over-reaching your station in life.  Even if you do break into the inner circle, I'm certain your boyfriend will be trading you up for something a little more posh.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Dear Ms. S. Curmudgeon:

I hope I do not live to regret giving you any helpful advice.  However, somehow I think there is at least a smidgeon of good in the smudgeon, so I am going to go out on a limb here:

He should attend another school, where he studies some sort of useful area, such as language, foreign policy, more management, better an M.F.A than an M.B.A these days, I understand.  Then he should take the test for the State Department's Foreign Service, the FSE, or Foreign Service Exam, which has a written part and an oral part.  The oral part is tougher, but I think from what you have told us in the past and now that your man can hack it. (lol)  No disprespect intended.  I am sure he will do well.  You might do better, then he could be your trophy husband, (lol.)

Now, I would suggest he consider Yale, Harvard, University of Chicago, maybe University of Texas, Austin.  There are others.  Research well.  There is time.  Do not be hasty.

In the meanwhile, it would be good to curry favour among Senators and Presidential candidates on both sides of the chambers of the Beltway, that is both Republicans and Democrats.  Be active in one party, but make friends on both sides.

At the same time, learn at least one other foreign language.   Part of our problems abroad stems from Americans deplorable lack of understanding of other cultures and languages, imho.  Sorry but I have to tell you; and if you want any chance of success, if I were you I would heed this which is only meant to help you all.

I wish you both the best of success.  As one says in Russia, "Ya vash zhelayio dobrii iucpehov," or "I wish you good fortune." Bonne chance, good luck.

Answer 8

well i know how it feels to be a diplomat,the prestige and power associated with it,but it seems you are more interested in shopping soiriees.is that the only thing you want?you can do that even now if your boyfriend is really a high flying executive!

to become a diplomat one has to give the civil service exams held by the government of your country.your service preference should be mentioned as "foreign service" when applying.well diplomats remain busy handling important affairs of their country abroad.know the pros and cons before joining from your government website.
