You asked a very similar question yesterday: here is the answer I gave you then:
Many FSOs are naturalized US citizens; many are ex-US military. The only base requirements are that you have a high school diploma and be a US citizen on the day you are sworn it. Then you have to take the foreign service written exam, the oral exam if you pass the written, then security and medical checks, and you have to be available for worldwide service.
You should be aware, however, that it is unlikely that you would ever be assigned to work in China or Ecuador. You cannot have diplomatic immunity in a country of which you are a citizen.
Here is a very nice web page that has all the information about joining the Foreign Service: how to do it, how it works, what the benefits are, what the work is like.

I have researched here shortly. According to your questions and answers I think you can apply for foreign service, if you have appropriate education of course. Benefits are different in different countries. Best payed are Americans, British, French, German diplomats. Other benefits are: multicultural environment, traveling, some diplomatic privileges, immunities,,, Go ahead. Good luck!

You have to give up your foreign citizenship, and be an American. Then you need to get a bachelors degree at the minimum. Associates degree doesn't cut it.

perform some spelling check before applying for the job :-) just kidding
I think it is good for you to improve your English first and then entera university to study "International affairs and economics" etc
As far as I know the Foreign Affairs recruited based on competition - you must a good degree first and a good personality/character

can you lie in good faith?, accept bribes and turn your head when needed, then you are government material. If you really want to they will even train you.
