You don’t need to have a degree to take the civil service exam. You only have to be 18 years old.

Sorry, I meant foreign service. From what I can remember you had to have a bachelor’s and they actually preferred a master’s or even a doctorate.

Actually, having a degree isn’t a specific requirement to become a foreign service officer. State Department leaves that door open. It’s statistically unlikely that someone would become a foreign service officer without one though.
