I've been looking into the CIA, DIA, and NSA a lot recently as possible career choices, but my problem is that they all require experience in a similar career... So where is the job that you're supposed to get started in?
I'm looking for a career a college graduate can get into. Next year I will graduate on the Dean's List with a Degree in International Relations, and a double-major in Asian Studies. I can speak and read Chinese and I spent an entire year studying abroad in China.
I traveled various Asian countries during this time, but it doesn't change that I have no experience in CI, HUMINT, or anything like that. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

He thought he was hiring a Ford Escort service. He just needed a rental car to show he was a man of the people. Even though he isn't a man of the cloth, he just wanted to show that he could do more than the average layperson for his constituents. He wanted to show that he can speak the language of the average layman. He laid his soul bare. The man knows how to lay it on the line.

They don't really care about what they're doing to their "children", only that THEY are RIGHT. Why is it so hard for us to just stand united as a country & stop the terrorists before there's another attack?
The terrorists are like disobedient children, they're never going to stop when they can just play mom and dad against each other - then both parents are too busy fighting with each other to even know what the kids are doing. We as US citizens are going to be the ones paying for this costly mistake.

Income tax - brought in to pay for World war one - a temporary and voluntary measure - More or less the same story in the US but of course a little different

GST a neutral tax that would generate no new income for the government (bullion dollar surplus because of the GST)


Etc etc

How on earth did we run this nation before all these taxes

Gas tax - more than 35% of the price you pay is tax at that pump the oil company is small fries compared to the government - They sure didn't have that in 1910

How did governments survive ?

Bush & the Republicans have lost their war on terrorists?

We have spent BILLIONS, countless number of
humans have died...and Bush comes out with a
report saying Al Qadea is stronger than ever...

Was it worth it Republicans - to put ALL our
forces & money in ONE country? To lose?

I just read this answer, and it made me ask this question. The question was, What would happen if our military was primarily liberal? One answerer replied with "No chance of that, our military doesn't want educated people."
Do you think our men and women who serve to protect your freedoms are uneducated? If so, why? Why are they considered dumb protecting your freedom?

I'm opposed to "Patriot I and II", the Homeland security act and every other "big-government" idea and program because they intrude on individual privacy and freedom.

Am I in favor of terrorists having the same liberty and privacy? No, of course not. That's why profiling is an essential part of any police investigation.

Wahabism (radical violent Islamic belief system) originated in Saudi Arabia and has spread throughout the Islamic world.

When 19 Saudi Arabians flew planes into the Center of the West's Financial Empire (World Trade Towers), do you think an appropriate response would have been to bomb the Center of the Islamic religion's Empire (Mecca)?

And do you think that would have marked the end of Islamic terrorism against the united States of America?

they just want someone else to pay for their coverage?

I'm tired of people saying, "I can't afford health care, YOU pay for it for ME"

If you can't afford health care, why do you think you will pull your own weight with a socialized program?

I'm for programs to assist people who need serious help, but isn't it obvious that socializing the industry will cause a downward spiral?

Why do you think artists should be able to charge anything they want for a painting, but doctors should have set prices for health care?

What gives YOU the right to tell someone they aren't allowed to do what every other occupation in the U.S. can do?

Why do YOU think just because YOU need health care, that SOMEONE ELSE has to go to medical school, and treat you for non competitive wages?

The Busheviks like to reduce the War on Terror to its simplest possible terms: are we winning or are the terrorists?

How many times have they (especially Bush, Cheney, & Tony Snow) attacked Democrats for taking some action that will "help the terrorists?"

Well now it's official: the terrorists are winning.

Bush Aides See Failure in Fight With Al Qaeda in Pakistan

President Bush’s top counterterrorism advisers acknowledged Tuesday that the strategy for fighting Osama bin Laden’s leadership of Al Qaeda in Pakistan had failed, as the White House released a grim new intelligence assessment that has forced the administration to consider more aggressive measures inside Pakistan.

Bush is Losing and the Terrorists are Winning...

Oh wait...
ALL the terrorists are INSIDE Iraq...
Right Republicans?

Canada's last known surviving First World War veteran had an early birthday celebration in Spokane, Wash., on Wednesday with friends, family and a letter from the Queen.
Surrounded by family and reporters, John Babcock opened a package of birthday wishes that B.C. MP James Moore brought from Canada.
Included in the parcel were letters of congratulations from Queen Elizabeth and Governor General Michaëlle Jean and a tie with red poppies from Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Babcock was born July 23, 1900, on an Ontario farm, and enlisted at the age of 15. His youth meant he couldn't go to the front lines in France, so he was put in the Boy's Battalion doing drills all day long. The war ended before he turned 18. He says he never felt like "a real soldier."
Babcock became an American citizen in the 1920s and joined the U.S. army.
