If I go on a study abroad to China, can I still qualify for a security clearance so that I can work for a defense contractor?
I am eligible for a really good scholarship. It requires you to go on a study abroad program to China for 3 weeks. Will this disqualify me for a security clearance? I have heard good things about being a computer engineer for a defense contractor. Does anyone have advice on whether it is better to work for a private industry or for a defense contractor? Thanks. #computer-engineering #state-department
What can I do to better prepare me for a career in the foreign service?
My dream is to be a foreign service officer for the State Department and I know that you can intern at certain Embassies but I'm not sure what else to do to prepare for a career in government. #internships #government #international-affairs #international-relations #foreign-affairs #foreign-service #state-department
