Just how hard is it to get in the CIA?

[Premeditated]

I heard it's harder than rocket science to even get consideration.

Currently majoring in communications. I don't know which particular field I'd like to be in. I won't mind being an agent, but I would want to travel overseas alot. Heard military experience would be good too. Also fluent in other language. Which I am.

I'm already pursuing, something else. This is just a curiosity.

If thats something your really interested in doing be prepared to have every moment of your life flipped over and investigated.

Yep.

Just about everybody close to you will get background checks and whatnot.

Been there not fun.

 

[Cute Fattie]

What are your reasons?

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

annual lie detector tests.

background checks

I got family in prison/habitual prisoners. Family involved with criminal organizations. An uncle in a sketchy marriage with an African woman he's never met. + my internet history for the last 10 years = I'll never be considered for the CIA. Im afraid even applying will get me put on some list. Its not fair

well i applied for a job with the cdn equivalent (csis), and i wrote a test, i didn't get it though as some ish came up that i thought was expunged so yeah.

but it helps if you can speak more than one language, also if you are a minority and smart.
