In response to hj2012, I have lived in Jamaica for two years when I was younger, and went to Australia for a 3 week excursion as a start. Though it is minimal, I do plan to continue increasing my International experience. As far as languages, I am fluent in english, familiar with spanish, and self-teaching Italian currently. In response to Seeking, I am willing to take some courses to boost my GPA up, but I believe I have around 9 Political Science Undergraduate courses currently. Seeking, do you believe that certificates count as credits towards my GPA? If so, I was interested in a certificate dealing with conflict resolution if that would help me any. Also, I was planning on pursuing an MA in business management as a basis for the material I'll need to know for the Foreign Services Officer Test (FSOT) to go along with the MA in Diplomacy, is this a good plan? Thank you everyone for your responses.

I am at a dilema, mainly because I have a 3.0 GPA for my undergraduate degree in Pre-Law and discovered that law was not a passion of mine after working at a Law firm for 9 months now. I am interested deeply in an MA in Diplomacy/ International Relations with a concentration in conflict resolution, but my GPA seems to be too low for what I desire so still searching for schools that would allow. Are you aware of any alternative programs I could look into, where the end goal is still met of preparing to become a Foreign Services Officer? On top of that, I have been struggling to find job positions that can gear my career towards working in a similar field at this time. Are you aware of an entry level position that I could get into to have sort of a foundation set for when I pursue the MA program? Thank You
