People that should read my FAQ, are people that wanted to discover their dream job better. They can read it before submitting an application for university or after their bachelor's degree, for example. My FAQ is also for the people that are curious about this job and knew nothing about it.

Where do foreign policy advisors work?

Most foreign policy advisors work for a governmental agency or serve as political appointees for the state or federal government. Non-Governmental organisations have their own foreign policy advisors and there are a lot of jobs available in those areas. They can also work in multi-national companies.


How can I become a foreign policy advisor?

You will have to earn a bachelor's in foreign policy, international relations, or political science. You could also earn a master's degree in the relevant field. A doctorate or a law degree in addition to the master’s degree is another plus, if you are trying to earn a better position at your work. Even learning a new language and becoming bilingual, could make you a better candidate for the vacant position.

The training is offered on a cost-recovery basis.


What are the dangers of being a foreign policy advisor?

I think one of the dangers would be to have someone that is for example, a war supporter or anything that would be against the role of being a foreign policy advisor. For example, someone that is selfish and who does not want to help people across the world, someone that think is superior to another person.


What are the chances that foreign policy advisors will be replaced by robots soon?

I think the chances would be very low, because foreign policy advisors need to think a lot, and not every situation is black and white. It will be hard for a robot to evaluate the situations. A robot could run out of information, if it wasn't already programmed in his system. A human could check in a book or ask a colleague for help.


What age go foreign policy advisors retire at?

Sorry, I was not able to find that information.
