With the state department there is a difference between high level appointees verses a randon analyst who no one cares about or knows.
Diploats, even junior ones, have access to exclusive information and state secrets in addition to being part of an exclusive network.

Try working with them in a supporting capacity! Sooo many- not everyone but especially those who were lawyers previously-are completely full of themselves.

"Prestigious"? Lol. The opposite.

Anyone one who devotes their career or fortunes to resolve and support those much less fortunate and/or our planet. This includes some of the careers already posted here if devoted to the above— the virtuous.

Agree with this list. I would add scientists and engineers who create things that help us all.


Definitely not bureaucrats or lawyers.

For you.

I’ll take a Thich Nhat Hanh over a judge or State employee any day of the week.

Nobody knows the names of State employees or judges. Lol

Comedy writer. Seriously. I think you need to be really smart to write good comedy. I have so much more respect for someone who can do that over investment banking or consulting.
