My Niece is very interested in a career in the FBI, CIA, NSA, or perhaps the Diplomatic Corps. She is a 4.0 Student and will be starting her sophomore year in a few weeks. It looks like she will graduate collage in three years instead of four. I have suggested that she contact her alumni association to find a graduate who happens to work for one of those agencies. If any of you kind TVCH members have any ideas or contacts, please PM me so that I can forward your information to my niece. Any PM information will be kept strictly confidential. Thanks a bunch!

I have a very good friend who worked for the NSA. What is your niece's major?

No contacts, but tell her to become very proficient in several languages. Mandarin is very good to know.

My friend has a PhD in poly sci with a specialty in the middle east. She's also proficient in several of the languages and has been over there many times. Even though she left the NSA she still can't talk about what she did there. LOL

Thanks for responding Twinkie. She has a double major of Poly Sci and Math.

Texannie I have suggested Mandarin, Arabic (which I am trying to learn), and or Farsi. I know she speaks German, Spanish and a little Japanese. She has a knack for languages just like her mom, my sister.

Legal, I think she is looking for an internship for next summer that will lead to employment when she graduates.

I also know that these professionals more often than not can’t divulge details of their employment. So this will be challenging to say the least! LOL!

My friend always said the NSA's motto was: We Don't Exist LOL

A thousand years ago when I was in college, the FBI & CIA would contact people they wanted to interview. They were in contact with our counselors.

I just did a quick check on their site and you can do an agency search.
