Working for the Dept of State

A friend of mine works for the DOS or better known as The Department of State. They even have a Facebook page .

Or you can go to their site  to learn about what they do, the jobs that are available, both domestically and internationally or just sign up to follow them on Facebook or Twitter!

If you want to check out all the jobs that are available with the US Government, go here .

This will give you an idea of what kinds of jobs are available with the government. If you like to travel (or think you might like it), then check out the foreign jobs. And once again, I can't stress enough the importance of learning a second language. It will open so many more doors for you. In fact, with all that is going on in the Middle East, you would be flooded with job offers if you fluently spoke and read Arabic. Think about it!

Education - The Great Cross Trainer

Every once in awhile I come across quotes that say exactly what I'm thinking. I came across one today.

We should think of education as a kind of intellectual cross-training that leads to many more things than at any one moment you could possibly know would be useful. The most powerful education generates further curiosity, new needs, experiences to meet those needs, more curiosity and so on.

Education isn’t just an object that you use to get started in a career; education is a catalytic resource that continues to energize and shape your life. Education enhances your ability to develop new skills and capacities for connectivity that allow you to solve problems and seize opportunities.
