State dept has tech areas that could use your background. I am not sure if you need to take Foreign Service exam, but there are at least three types of jobs: emer comms (satcom), science officer and DoD. You could go straight IT but you require some basic certs which you probable would pass very easily - easiest and probably the most rewarding because of the travel. If I was in my 20s, this would be my choice, gift job.
Also, look up ESTH and State dept. There is also NGA but that's fairly specific.
