<h2>I’ve heard Intel jobs are pretty hard to get, but it would be a great job ~ Twinkletwinkle</h2>
<p>If you went enlisted, you could have a job as an intel analyst tomorrow, given you meet all the criteria to join the military.</p>
<p>When enlisting you can pick your MOS via guaranteed contracts. Finish college, walk down to the recruiter and say, “I’d like to be an intelligence analyst”, and they will hook you up. Whether you pass the training is up to you.</p>
<p>Currently, it is very tough to become an intel analyst in the federal government. It seems like they are rarely doing mass hiring at a GS 5/7 level, which is the best route.</p>
<p>If you really want to be an analyst, don’t overlook the enlisted route. Plus, when you get deployed you are doing intel that can actually save lives - sometimes having some closure on your work is nice. Often times in other analyst roles you just submit a report and there is never really any direct action from it, which can get tiresome.</p>
