<p>Thanks for your reply soccerguy.
I am not very enthusiastic about office work or analysis all day, every day. I think that analytic skills are always a must have in this kind of profession. Maybe I should clarify what I am actually looking for. When I began my bachelor(s) I imagined myself in either business consultancy or diplomacy (although research would be an option, too)- both competitive jobs with changing work-conditions and assignments. They also involve an equal amount of people-skills as well as analytic/technical skills. I heard of HUMINT in the army. Area Intelligence Specialist or something along these lines seems very attractive to me. I want a challenging job that allows me to learn more and improve myself. The CIA is a very new idea for me- I learned only recently that it is open for immigrants (I thought only Americans of at least the 2nd generation are accepted. No idea where I had this information from).</p>
<p>To make it short: I am more interested in the tactical/field aspect of intelligence. I can’t see myself as either an office-slave nor a revolver-hero and although I’m a bit more on the geek-side than on the jock-side of the scale, I’d say I am a person who likes communication.</p>
<p>I wonder which work experience would be considered “relevant” for the CIA outside of the military (that doesn’t offer officer jobs for non-citizens).</p>
