Only if you think being dropped off on the corner of Walk and Don't Walk in a foreign country is boatloads of fun, as I do, employment in the Foreign Service of the US State Department. Barriers to getting in are rather high, however, and salaries, initially, are laughable, but you're not paying rent or utilities when you are overseas. There is a pol/econ/mgmt track and a technical support track (where barriers are a bit lower) and is the route I took. State has "diplomats in residence" at major universities. They'll be happy to chat even if you aren't a student.
