Jobs

As some of the regulars here are probably already aware I’m in my final year of school atm, getting round to that horrible time of year where we have to choose courses....
So I thought before I did anything else I’d call on the millennia or so pool of experience that this place represents...

Firstly, can anything this of a non government-diplomatic corps job that is primarily about interaction of foreign powers. Basically International Studies as a job..... And while I’m posting, any other advise etc?

Could you clarify this a bit? I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here.

The way I read it, he wants to work in international affairs without acttually having to be a government employee. Probably some think-tankish job with an NGO along the lines of Amnesty International or The Breton Woods Project.

repaired to readability.
Foriegn affairs as a job, analysis work? Anything like that exist in business? I thought about journo but after talking to about 8 the general consensus was DON'T DO JOUNRALISM - the hours suck, the work sucks, its usually very boring and dead end. I was thinking more pure business anyway.

crypto? ewww maths

From your posts it seems to me you'd be interested in www.Greenpeace.org.au. That involvement might be a satisfying vocation or avocation.

This will collide with the greeny in you but what about oil exploration?

elSicomoro · 06-08-2002, 02:15 PM

To me, this sounds like a communications director / department also called Public Relations, the Press Secratary, or what political advisors such a James Carvel do for politicians. Some call them spin doctors - to take a complex issue into sound bytes - and the massive amount of time and money spent to do just that.

Others call it advertising. Or lobbying. At least that is how I read the RFI.
