Intelligence Analyst Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
My dream job to is become an intelligence analyst at the CIA. However, I recognize that is is a select position and it's highly unlikely that I'd be able to achieve this. So I was wondering, what other jobs or careers are related to this position that I could use as a fallback after studying International Relations in college?

I'm an intelligence analyst with the TN National Guard and I just got turned down for a job because of my lack of experience (I'm a SPC) / education (1 semester of college). What would be a good degree and what would be a good college to further my career as an intelligence analyst? Sorry. I guess I should mention that I'm working full time with the Counterdrug Task Force as an intelligence analyst tracking down drug dealers.

I am currently majoring in criminology. I want to be an intelligence analyst. I've heard from numerous amounts of people that i should join the air force to gain experience and that it would give me a higher chance of being hired. I don't know much about the air force so i would appreciate it if you would let me know any information as to which division i should join ( if you know). Thanks in advance.

Im going to the army as a Intelligence Analyst. I was told by my army recruit that if i get out of the military ( and keep my MOS) i have a high earnings potential.

I'm starting college in the fall and I'm a little stuck on which foreign language(s) to take classes in. I want to learn the ones that would be most useful in getting the types of jobs I want - something like a CIA intelligence analyst or a job in international relations. I'm trying to decide between Arabic, Spanish, French, and Russian. I'd really appreciate any advice or thoughts on which languages are the most useful nowadays.
