College Majors

<p>Glad to see the discussion continues about being an FSO!</p>

<p>See the below link FYI. Being a FSO is clearly not for everyone! It is an arduous process but can be a worthwhile career choice if so dedicated and motivated. If you need “extra” language training you spend pretty much the 1st year in training before being assigned overseas.</p>

<p>You do get to pick choices for assignment and careeer track and rank your choices, but alas the “Needs of the State Dept” Supercede. Yes, some postings can be in dangerous areas. Gee- this kind of sounds like the military huh!</p>

<p>Anyway - most “decent” Universities with IR majors will have a State Dept point-of-contact - usually called an Ambassador-in-Residence or something similar.</p>

<p>Not everyone gets sent to Yemen or Afghanistan!</p>
