Who Wants To Be A Foreign Service Officer?

Did you know Americans can join the Foreign Service as late as 59-years-old? There's always time to change careers. Adam Vaught embodies this sentiment, as he entered the Foreign Service in 2020 after working over a decade in the luxury travel industry, ranging from tour guide to senior management.

The Young Leaders sit down with Adam Vaught — an American diplomat posted in Shanghai and currently serving in Doha on Afghan refugee settlement. Tune in as Vaught shares invaluable advice on State Department career paths and answers our questions about joining the Foreign Service.

This program is presented by the Young Leaders.
