Try to elaborate a good deal more, if you could. Must it be USMC? How much work exoosure have you had, in urs, and fields. Are you undergrad, or grad? Do you want grad? Now, or later? Try to go into hobbies, interest, reading, both serious and light, athletics, try to he as length, detailed, and specific as you can. Go into actual coursework, titles grades, overall GPA, what year you're in if undergrad or grad. Might you want law at all? Might you want an MBA? Doctoral level, not clinical, in speaking of PhD, or, if law, an LLM to go with a JD. What you have strikes me as a natural fit for lawz however that'd depend in what type of!law, if you'd want law at all. Let me send this then I'll try to send more, meanwhile, try to elaborate OK?

Here's the thing: I realize you want to go in, I get that. However, consider something, OK? The more you offer them, the higher youmgo in as, and the less distraction you'd have while working, needing to go for further training. When I went, I thought I was ready, I went too soon, prematurely, and simply wasn't adequately prepared. The more grad work you offer, the greater the chance for an age waiver, also, or going direct commission, as well, possibly, I'll send this now, then more.

I'm not saying to do this, I just offer it to illustrate that USCG uses such backgrounds, that's all, honest.

Candidly. I think, truly, even at the risk of taking a really long time, I'd doma combined JD-LLM in law, with a PhD, specializing in internal law!and foreign policy, with political science. Then you'd be set, you could quite literally gompretty much anywhere you'd please....

Kimberly Palacios I have links for enlisted and officer MOS's. With your degree, I would consider the intelligence field, followed by a job in government. Good luck.

I am not really sure how your degree would aid you in a career choice in the Marines. Now for the Army it is a different story. The Army is much larger and has more diversity in occupations. I could see you going into Civil Affairs. It is right up your alley. I have attached some links for it. But if you are trying to build international relations this is exactly that. Now if you were building a resume that would lead towards a civilian career this might be different.
