What other career fields are open to someone who is looking for an international career besides foreign service?

Moira - there are many options in the US and overseas for someone interested in International Affairs in addition to the diplomatic services (the foreign service). Some people enjoy working with international humanitarian groups like International Rescue Committee (IRC) where the focus is serving vulnerable groups (rather than the political agenda of the US Government) or with the United Nations and its many areas of humanitarian and international administration responsibilities.
