My son wants to become a diplomat?

What education and job experience is required?

It depends on which country you are in; each country has its own system for foreign civil service.

First find out what are the procedures for getting into civil service in your country

Of course in terms of education - your son will need a flair for foreign languages and should major/study International relations; to make things easier; but these are not absolutely essential!

Antsam's answer is correct. Tours are 2 years to start, and can be extended, up to 6 years once tenure is achieved (which is after 5 years in the FS). Military service or prior security clearance are also positives.

HOWEVER, make sure he knows what he's getting into. The job is easy, but the culture is horrific. The pride in ignorance and incompetence and baseless arrogance is unbelievable. I haven't met an FSO who didn't make me embarrassed to be American.

A good Liberal Education (Political Science, History, International Relations, etc) which includes foreign language training (a high need language would improve his chances). He will also need to take the Foreign Service Exam.

First a BA in Political Science, then a Masters in deception, then a PhD in slight of hand... then send him to the West Bank with a letter of introduction to Hezbollah leaders, then have him address the Israeli Parliament and report on his progress, then back to the West Bank to report on his progress... If he is alive by now that should get him pointed in the right direction...
