I used to be one before retiring. Once my wife and I were out to dinner with the boss and he asked my wife, "So what do you think of what your husband does?" She said, "I don't know what he does." Right answer," said the boss. It was a great life overall--and learning how to keep quiet has paid off in other areas as well. Certainly doesn't suck.

I hate to burst your bubble. James Bond may very last all of 5 minutes interior the field. field Intelligence officials, not brokers stay mundane lives for the most area. Their job is something observed as HUMINT, Human Intelligence. They carry at the same time techniques commonly by skill of using sources in overseas governments. The intelligence officer performs both confidant and nurse maid for someone betraying their own us of a. Intelligence officials are of two diverse kinds, criminal and unlawful. criminal intelligence officials use a canopy even as operating at an embassy satisfying some off the radar job. They run sources and characteristic diplomatic immunity. unlawful intelligence officials are lower than the Clandestine Operations Directorate. those people are people that stay in a overseas land and run both intelligence sources like the criminal officials or they bodily carry out intelligence amassing operations. those officials if chanced on are tried for espionage. they don't walk about casinos and stay extreme on the hog. Intelligence officials hardly if ever carry guns. Your wit and preparation is your purely weapon.They mixture into society so that they won't be able to be considered. there's a large style of possibility, even if the those who do it do not favor possibility, they prefer to help their us of a and in the experience that they can do it with out the possibility they could particularly. They pay isn't that enormous. 50 to 90k per 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. sturdy success!

I'm in the middle of the interview process with a major federal intelligence service, for an intelligence position. It's not quite "secret agent", but there is a lot of secrecy and I need top-level security clearance. It's interesting for sure- but this whole process has left me with more questions than answers about the job!

secret agents don't actually do "cool" stuff, since they have to blend into the enviromeant they normally have to take on the roles of crummy things. At least that was the way during the cold war.

I am sure spying is entirely boring. You have to listen to a lot of TV, stupid talk, birds cackling like old witches. People cursing because they can't find the food they want in the house. Do spies have to listen to people in the bathroom? Do they read their stupid e-mails and junk e-mails, as well as postings on YAnswers? Listen to several people practie piano badly? All in the name of 'homeland seurity'? Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn!!!!!
Think about it. What if you had to listen to hockey every night for 8 months? Or listen to stupid personal dramas and conversations about someone's ex-wife who was a *****?
Or what if you had to try to pretend you were a reporter or graduate student and ask questions about something you knew nothing about? It's like rolling around in someone's dirty laundry. How exciting is that?

Nah. They don't hire people who have desire to show off. So those who want to talk about all "cool stuff" they did will end up in office serving coffee and do very basic low entry level paper work.

Nope. Because like you said you get to do cool stuff. Doesn't matter who you can and can't tell. You, yourself would know and that could be enough if you allow it to be. I know things that I may never tell anyone and I never will. But I know them and that is enough.

You wouldn't have to in the US just let the Bush Administration tell everyone for you.
