What do I have to do to become a spy?

	What do I have to do to become a spy? Hi, all my life I've wondered about spies. International spies, double agents, things of that nature. I've played video games like Splinter Cell, watched movies like The Bourne Trilogy, and have always just been incredibly fascinated with the fast-paced, blood-pumping heart-pounding lifestyle of the spy. I've always had these questions brewing up inside of me. The biggest one is "Are the even real?" I sort of imagine them as being like ninjas. I don't think they're real either. But regardless, if they are real, I want to do whatever is in my power to become a spy. The only problem is that I don't know how to get to that point. And I'm sure you're telling yourself that I'm an idiot and I'll probably end up seeing this on "Unfriendable.com" or something, and to that I say, screw off. You hating on my dreams will only build them up. I've got an I.Q. of 147, hundreds of friends, a smokin' hot girlfriend, a nice body, money, and the life that you wish you had. But aside from my rants, this is a legitimate question. I'm going to college in a few months. I'm going for photography. Would I have to change my major to a major in criminal justice or something of that nature, work for the CIA, and then talk to the president and become a spy? I really have no idea. So the question is, how the heck do I become a spy?! It's my dream. Please help. And only real answers, please. I don't need any bull crap hate comments from lowlives who have horrible lives and nothing better to do than take out their insecurities on other people with pathetic excuses for cyber bullying. Just saying. Thank you so much! :) Asked By: Christopher - 2/9/2011

Splinter Cell & Bond are NO Jack Ryan a CIA Analyst, John Clark a CIA Operation Officer in CIA's National Clandestine Service 's Special Activities Division,but has also done regular operation that has nothing to with SAD. Bond is no Edward Foley a CIA Operation Officer not with SAD and only does regular operations, George Simley a British Secret Intelligence Service Operation Officer, who could be Station Chief already at his age and all those working for the British SIS. Last of all he is no Alec Leamus a British Secret Intelligence Service Operation Officer. To be a spy is nothing like Bond at all, reading close to the real world type spy novels one get some ideas how the job is and what it takes to do which kind. Got To have a Bachelor(use to I read somewhere atleast a Master back in the 90s as I remember. Maybe it changed) to be a CIA Analyst and the right major that lead one there like history, economics, political science, national security, international studies, geography, library science and remote sensing. CIA Operation Officer also need 4 year college degree, don't know are majors the same as an Analyst's. Doing anything in the CIA, I think one might need to have some kind of military service, even if it just behind a computer like NASA style during a launch. Robert M. Gates went to college first and the CIA send him to the Air Force just sitting behind a computer send out coronet and so on. He might not have even done any basic training that way. Being a CIA Anaylyst is not a boring job like some people think, you really have to know your stuff. What one find in their report could be very important, and it the CIA's DDI and his meeting with the Director and other CIA Deputy Directors like the National Clandestine Service does it determine what the National Intelligence Director, the President and his National Security Advisor need to know. Plus is it more then just a regular basic daily brefing, or just a regular basic intelligence daily brefing. Here goes some good nonfiction books to read: Inside the CIA : Revealing the Secrets of the World's Most Powerful Spy Agency by Ronald Kessler (talks about all four of the CIA's Directorate, the role of the CIA Director and the location CIA headquater at) CIA at War : Inside the Secret Campaign Against Terror by Ronald Kessler The CIA's Black Ops: Covert Action, Foreign Policy and Democracy by John Jacob Nutter Burn Before Reading : Presidents, CIA Directors, and Secret Intelligence by Stansfield Turner From the Shadows : The Ultimate Insider's Story of Five Presidents and How They Won the Cold War by Robert M. Gates (Robert Gates was a CIA Analyst that became one of the CIA Directors. He also talks about how he became a CIA Analyst. He knew that being even a regular CIA Operation Officer that is not with SAD, was not for him after one day's training doing something on dead drop some what early in the morning. He went and talked with them to switch over. He is now the Secretary Of Defense.) Spycraft : The Secret History of the CIA's Spytechs, from Communism to al-Qaeda by Robert Wallace (It about the CIA's Directorate Of Science And Technology) Jawbreaker: The Attack on Bin Laden and Al Qaeda: A Personal Account by the CIA's Key Field Commander by Gary Berntsen(former CIA Operation Officer), Ralph Pezzullo (The book mostly about CIA SAD being embeded with Army Special Forces) Class 11 : Inside the CIA's First Post-9/11 Spy Class by T. Waters , Patrick Lawlor (about CIA Operation Officers NOTHING about CIA Analyst) MI6 : Inside the Covert World of Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service by Stephen Dorril These are good links to check out http://www.campuscareercenter.com/students/jobdetail.asp?id=303445 http://www.campuscareercenter.com/campuscareercenter_jobs/1990816/CIA/Staff_Operations_Officer.html#spec-3 http://www.campuscareercenter.com/students/jobdetail.asp?id=1990814#spec-1 http://www.campuscareercenter.com/full_jobs/3817561/CIA/CIA_Analyst.html http://www.campuscareercenter.com/full_jobs/7270309/CIA/Student_Internship_Opportunities_at_the_National_Clandestine_Service.html http://www.campuscareercenter.com/full_jobs/303449/CIA/Military_Analyst.html http://www.campuscareercenter.com/full_jobs/303441/CIA/Counterterrorism_Analyst.html http://www.campuscareercenter.com/full_jobs/303451/CIA/Political_Analyst.html NOTE: Have not found any links or info on being a regular CIA Operation Officer (that has NOTHING to do with their SAD and dress paramilitary), that are sent to places like Germany, Russia, Denmark, Poland, Africa, Vienna Austria, China, Italy and so on to get intel from spies, military officers and politicans who will sell out their own country or wants to defect. And are NEVER embeded with Special Forces and learn to use a M4 and a 9mm hand gun. Spies do not have law enforcement power, that is why regular CIA Operation Officers don't carry a hand gun or learn to use one. Answered By: Spike - 2/10/2011

To be a real spy you first need to be an amateur spy. To be a real spy it requires a lot of hard work, and the work is not easy at all, you're always at risk of getting yourself beaten up terribly, tortured, or killed. To be an amateur spy, all you have to get is the right equipments. I would first recommend you to get spy bubble from my website, it gives you the software bug that only takes few seconds to install on another mobile phone by sms. Once the phone is bugged, you can listen in on their conversations, see their text messages, and even view their locations. This is a really affordable investment you could make as an amateur spy, and as a spy you would need a lot of experience in spy equipment tools, as spies do make good use of their tools. To know what it takes to be a spy is to first learn to be a spy, see my link below, it's your first step to being a real spy. Once you improve on your skills, you can then work as a private investigator, then move up your level to be a spy, thery have training schools for that. All the best buddy, and have fun using the spy tool below. I am now tracking 5 mobile phones all in the name of fun, it's really an amazing tool I highly recommend it!

You have to pass alot of tests and training to be a "spy" you also have to get selected by the government Answered By: Cody - 2/9/2011

If you want to become a spy, know that the way you have framed your question here is a strike against you already. It was rather foolish, and it will be frowned upon by the government, when it conducts a background investigation on you and your posted question here comes to their attention. Fundamental prerequisites for becoming a spy is that you must be able to keep your mouth SHUT, and otherwise be willing and able to exercise utmost discretion in both personal and business matters. Besides a thorough special background investigation, you will be subject to psychological tests, polygraph tests, drug tests, physicals, and other rigorous screening. If you want to become a spy, I would suggest that you do the following: 1. Rid yourself of your churlish attitude. You are quite a bit too snotty, puffed up - full of yourself - you are sorely lacking in humility. You will also never pass the required psychological tests in your current condition. 2.Gain some maturity - you have a long way to go on this one, son. 3. Be more realistic. 4. Consider the personal costs involved in being a spy. With your current station in life, you will need to patiently dedicate several years of careful, hard work before you can get what you want. 5. Know that spy novels are fun and interesting to read, but they're fiction, not reality. This is not to say that the life of a spy cannot be exciting. It is often quite mundane, punctuated by the occasional action and adventure that you seem to crave, and these kinds of events can be quite terrifying. Espionage and related activities are very serious matters. Such can be quite dangerous, and if you want to play such a serious game, you may regret your choice someday, depending on the choices you make and on the turn of events. Aim your education towards the path that you seek. Your 147 I.Q. will serve you well, but, besides your intelligence, you must get wisdom - something that you lack, judging by your public question on this forum. Knowledge is the information you have, while wisdom is knowing how to practically apply your knowledge to everyday situations. As for your "hundreds of friends", your "smokin' hot girlfriend", your "nice body", your "money", and your super duper "life" that everyone wishes they had, you must leave all that cuh cuh behind (except for your super duper body, that is), along with your snotty attitude, if you want to be a spy. This is because you will be overseas most of the time, and you must blend into the background - become a nobody, boring, a nothing, fade into the woodwork and obscurity. So, you will likely have to part with girly pie, your money, and your hundreds of friends for months and even years at a time. Also expect to risk your life. Be sure to make a will to distribute your money to your family, sweetie pie, and your hundreds of friends before you go on a mission. You might not come back. If you can stomach everything that I have written so far, then do this: Be sure that you have a squeaky clean background. If you do not have this, then don't waste your time, and read no further. This will disqualify you, unless you somehow manage to stumble upon some information that is valuable to the government. Even then, the government will not trust you, and it would use you and toss you away as soon as you are of no further use. In such a case, you would not get to have a career with the government. Become an expert in martial arts. Work your "nice body" that you have bragged about out very hard. Increase your strenght, speed, and agility. Become a great swimmer, if you are not one already. Excellent command of English, and at least one other language is desired and often required. Languages like Arabic and Farsi are in demand these days. Computer skills are also in demand. Be a patriot. The government loves patriots. Check out various web sites of organizations that belong to the U.S. intelligence community. CIA, NSA, State Department, Armed Forces, FBI, and DIA all readily come to mind, but there are quite a few others. Such web sites can provide a great deal of guidance that you are seeking, with regard to your education, along with the other requirements that the various agencies in the intelligence community are seeking. If you're such a super duper man, then consider joining the military after college. Military special forces often work hand in hand with the CIA and other organizations that belong to the intelligence community. While in the military special forces and/or afterwards, you can work with and for the CIA and other intelligence organizations. With the right education, skills, experience, and other background, you can become an intelligence analyst, and have a desk job at the Pentagon or somewhere else. This is not the action/adventure path that you are seeking, but even so, you can be in the loop, knowing fascinating government secrets. A desk job is also a lot safer than charging a beach. Source(s): I am a former Intelligence Specialist, who served in the U.S. Navy and in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Cold War - 1980-1984. As such, I was a part of the U.S. intelligence community, and my answer to your question was written from my perspective. Answered By: christopherpaulberthiaume - 2/9/2011

	How do I get a job with Dodgy work history and no experience? Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now?

My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating.
