So she has some creds.

Her grandparents have political connections, though these days they are all Republican which won't help unless she comes back to Florida. In the old days, they had close connections to Spessard Holland and his family as well as a slight connection to Lawton Chiles. But all those people are now gone.

This girl aces tests so if she has the interest and the knowledge, I'm sure she can pass just about anything. She's already been around the world on a Semester at Sea and visited countries on other trips and enjoyed all that, so Foreign Service might be perfect for her.

I graduated in 1977 just when the economy took a nosedive. I never did get a job using my college degree except peripherally, so I know how it is when you can't get a good start in a career.
