The money is real good, no doubt about that, but bartending is a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modestly I would say that right now it is nearly impossible to get a civil service job, but I would recommend you take the Foreign Sevice Exam in on April 12 and take a look at this site. www.careers.state.gov I do Middle East shit, so right now I'm real depressed. I'm always here for help... ciao! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
