[quote=Anonymous]We happen to have a number of friends who are senior FSOs, including some who are/have been ambassadors. I have no idea what their college majors were, but I'm always impressed by how well they know history, both US and global. They also tend to be very good at reading people -- so studying psychology might be helpful. Interestingly, foreign language ability seems to vary considerably. Some of the FSOs we know grew up in bilingual or trilingual families, some speak languages for which there is more demand than supply, and at least one is known for being a game, but not terribly adept, speaker of more common Romance languages.
