Go to a school that traditionally produces a lot of Foreign Service Officers (Jesuit, Ivy League or top Liberal Arts school for example). Get good grades in a Liberal Arts major that includes Political Science, International Relations and Economics courses and learn either a non-European language or French. Take the Foreign Service exam, join the Foreign Service and work your way up.

Or you can get to know a future President give them a lot of money (in campaign help) and when they are elected, ask them for an appointment.

Either way is a long shot (Ambassador is considered a high rank like General or Admiral), but the first way is something that you will have a lot more control over (and a good job along the way). Good luck! Check out the state department web page for more info.

Ambassadors are political appointees, generally the best way to become one is to become friends with an influential person, either by genuine friendship or through political favours/donations. You also may want to have some modicum of qualifications for the job, these include knowledge of foreign languages, as well as a graduate degree of some type, and possibly experience working somewhere like the State Department or the United Nations.

Well if your like a high school senior or something, try to keep up on all the current events. You probably want to major in something like global communications and be taking a language.
