US Embassy question?

Question

What kind of education do you need to be able to work in a US Embassy? And can you pick which Embassy you would like to work at?

Answer 1

It depends what job you want. If you want to become an ambassador you need to study economics and/ or political sience. Choosing which one? forget it! And get used to moving to other countries every 4 years or so. Also, get prepared to start in the least desirable locations as well.

A great job but a very different life style.........

Answer 2

Embassies are run much like any other professional, multi-national organization.  There are positions which run the gamut from blue collar to white collar, depending on your interests and qualifications.
