Recovering
Happy Memorial Day. I just spent this past weekend at Princeton's annual alumni Reunions, which I will argue is unparalleled in the United States. I happened to bump into two class of 55ers who were both US Ambassadors in Latin America - Thomas Boyatt (Ambassador to Colombia in 1980) and Anthony Quainton (Ambassador to Nicaragua and Peru, among others). Tony had a fascinating career in which he was in Lima during the heydey of the Shining Path and in Managua in the early 80s during the Contra war. The Sendero actually placed a bomb in his house but luckily he and his family were not present.
It seems that the Foreign Service, which was once dominated by Princetonians, has fallen out of favor for young Ivy League graduates. My landlord and Politics professor Paul Sigmund commented to me yesterday that during his trips through Latin America in the 1960s, each embassy had Princeton grads. Now the same cannot be said. For one thing, more (lucrative) opportunities exist for bright graduates in international affairs and business, such as investment banking and multinationals. In addition, the visa work as a young Foreign Service officer can be mundane and boring ("Everyone's lying to you, and you have to figure out who's telling the truth," remarked Paul). Also, apparently the Foreign Service has tried to diversify their ranks, which means gaining an advantage if you come from Oklahoma instead of Massachusetts. I have had a few friends take the Foreign Service exam and they have, without fail, done relatively poorly on the Oral section. I think I will sit for the exam, but a USAID officer I met with at the US Embassy in Bogota told me that USAID was more up my alley than State.
Also, I'm getting ready for another gira through Latin America - 3.5 weeks in Central America. After 10 days in Costa Rica, I am going to try to get to Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador. Should be an excellent trip, as I have never been to the latter three countries, which is embarrassing considering I lived in CR for a year.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.

I leave a response when I like a post on a blog or if I have something to
valuable to contribute to the conversation. Usually it is triggered
by the fire communicated in the post I looked at.
And after this article "Recovering". I was excited enough to
drop a comment :-) I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Is it only me or do a few of the comments appear like they are left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting at other sites, I would like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list every one of all your social sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
