[quote=Anonymous]After many years of Foreign Service Exam failures (going all the way back to college!) I now find myself with offers from both the State Dept Foreign Service (econ cone) and Commerce's Foreign Commercial Service. Wondering if anyone out there can comment on good and bad, trade offs, etc. of each service. Lifestyle seems pretty similar in terms of benefits, training, frequency of moves, etc. How is attrition - I heard that econ officers quit at a higher rate than others - possibily owing to having more marketable skill sets than political or consular officers. I don't really have an illusions about making ambassador someday so that the fact that FCS folks rarely make ambassador doesn't matter. [/quote]
