[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FSOs have a very surprisingly high number of Mormons in their ranks. That is neither here or there but interesting nonetheless given this conversation [/quote] Not just FSOs, but any government career that involves international relations + security. Mormons tend to have the ideal combination of squeaky cleanness that makes the security clearance process a breeze, plus international experience and demonstrated proficiency in foreign language acquisition from doing overseas missions. (Yes, I'm aware that not all LDS do overseas missions, but almost all of the ones who end up at State have done so.) Add in a religious culture that puts a strong emphasis on public service. And, last but not least, State provides EXTREMELY GENEROUS benefits to families. There is absolutely no way a lot of these FSOs could afford to have 4, 5, 6 kids if they were civil servants in DC.
