[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Foreign Service[/quote] What was your education and background prior to FSO? Did you have children and a spouse when you went into Foreign Service? This is a path I have considered but my background seems quite far from people I know that have done this.[/quote] I have a master's in poli sci. Really there are FSO's from all kind of educational backgrounds from scientists to former teachers and accountants. I don't think you're even required to have a degree. I had years in other government roles prior to joining. I find people who come to the service with career experience bring more to the table than most of these kids fresh out of prestigious colleges and no real professional experience. It can be great for kids. The spousal employment or lack thereof is the more difficult part. [/quote] Do you think an FSO career is feasible for a single mom with a teenager?[/quote]
