Senior Intelligence Analyst
I work with Top Secret and Highly Sensitive platforms and computer tools, write reports for the Intelligence Community.
I research any reports on my assigned "topic," then start doing my own research on the "topic" and assign mid-level and junior analysts. Due to the nature of the work, I cannot get into the classified portion of my work.
Here's the first step for college students
If a person does not want to go the military route, they should find a university who offers National Security or Intelligence type programs. Having a 3.0 GPA is a must and having a 3.5 GPA or higher is recommended. Go to job fairs where government agencies are present. Be prepared to start as a junior analyst. Apply to government agencies such as the FBI, CIA, NSA (math majors). DO NOT do drugs, including marijuana. Be prepared to take a Polygraph Test and DO NOT LIE.
