<p>what is relevant depends on what skills you learn. Skills can be applied to a wide variety of professions, and keep in mind when you first get hired in any job, you will be trained in the specifics. The CIA puts people where they are able to and where they think they will be valuable. You can google “non official cover” if you want to read about that area.</p>
<p>Most of the military HUMINT is done via the defense attache offices that are in US Embassies around the world. CIA is a large organization. The collectors (and paramilitary guys) in the field are the ones that have books written about them and inspire the James Bond stuff… but there is really not very many of them. I read in a book that in the 90s, the CIA was only training 15-20 field operatives a year. Obviously the training numbers are something that would be classified, but it’s probably safe to say there was a heavy increase after 9/11. That said, even with a 100% or 200% increase, they still aren’t training that many.</p>
<p>If you want to combine the engineering and business, the Intelligence Community has tons of really cool programs (satellites, drones, IT infrastructure, etc) that you could work on either on the engineering side or the management side.</p>
<p>There is also the National Center for Medical Intelligence, which is part of DIA. Figured I should mention this since you mentioned med school.</p>
