Thank you for sharing your journey! I first met a diplomat on my flight to Ghana, for study abroad. Between that conversation, and then meeting them for a tour of the US Embassy, I was sold! I am in the middle of my PhD, and eagerly await joining the foreign service!

Cool how relevant this video is to me rn. I've been thinking of diplomacy since I was 12 and this video has really helped me get a better idea of what a diplomat does. Subbed!

I’m in my last year of my BA in international affairs and I’m thinking about becoming a diplomat and this video gives me a good idea of how it’s like to be a diplomat.

I am a high school senior and I just now come across this career. I am passionate about diversity, culture, travel, writing, American history, and human rights. Do you think being a foreign office could be a good choice for me?

[austinbrown]

Thank you for this, I always wondered what a Diplomat truly does. A few of my friends expressed interest in being diplomats but I never bothered to really ask why. All I knew was "diplomatic immunity". SMH

During my graduate studies I had the opportunity to participate in the Model UN. It was our universities first time doing it and we ended up walking away with some awards which caught the eye of those who ran the thing. I’m public policy major with very little International Relations work, but I used my experiences in Activism while there. My group represented Liberia as my friend who convinced to participate is from Liberia and most of our friends she convinced were from all over Africa, so it made sense to rep Liberia. Once we got there, there was a university (mostly white) that represented Nigeria and had won multiple awards. So, all they cared about was winning awards. So they completely misrepresented Nigeria and disregarded the real relationships that exist between African nations within the UN. This pissed off a couple of other Universities along with other students who were actually from Nigeria. These students’ white elitism was on full blast. Like the elitism from American State workers who try to strong arm other countries into towing the US foreign policy line. So, I did nothing but find any piece of UN resolution I could to backhandedly embarrass this university including forging relationships with other countries that were not realistically allied with Liberia. It was hard and we all came to agreements and together forged a United African front against Nigeria. All this is to say that after it was over I was invited to go further in Model UN and encouraged that being a diplomat might be a good path for me to take, but I declined. I refuse to advance any US foreign policy onto host countries when that policy is inherently imperialistic, racist, and neo-colonial. Diplomats have to play by the rules or they don’t get into the big-people club. Like the US threatening India with sanctions if they don’t tow the line by condemning Russia and ban oil and gas sales. Who is the US to tell India how to act towards an economic ally? Am I cut out for being a Diplomat? Yes. Do I have the tools and knowledge required to become a diplomat? Yes. However, I will not participate in advancing a very violent foreign policy in host countries. I would enjoy working over seas and helping advance my host countries own interests even if it contradicts the US interests which - let’s face it - the interests of corporations. All of this to to say that I want to work over seas because it’s something I’m passionate about but I won’t play ball with the State department. 😂

Can I still be a diplomat if there are many things that I don't agree with that the United states have/continue to do? Also great video!! New subscriber here

[KaddijatouSaho-en]

I'm a grade 12 candidate in Gambia and it has always been my dream to become an ambassador....I need advice please about things I need to know about diplomat before graduating

[ninaalexandriabacolod]

Very informative video! I would like to ask how the sending country notify the diplomat to go back home or if his duty is done?

[andrescubillos]

I’m about to graduate in one year with my bachelor’s in Criminal Justice and plan on getting my Masters right after. Is there a degree I should get to specifically get a job in an embassy that you think would be smart? I would like to work in a Latin country since I speak Spanish and I have dual citizenship in one of them. Thanks for the amazing video!

Does diplomats living abroad receive their salaries in dollars or in the country’s currency?
