"ENGINEER" BECOMES HEADLINING CRITERIA FOR FUTURE SPIES
With crime and terrorism going high-tech, it's become more critical to have

Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), Federal Bureau
of Investigation (FBI), or similar agencies around the world, the demand
for engineers and computer scientists has never been greater. Each agency
has several divisions with various technical needs and challenges, creating
opportunities for growth and diversity. Responsibilities may include
ensuring information systems' security, spearheading cutting edge
communications technology or analyzing complex data to provide usable
information.

experiences may allow an open-minded employer to value a candidate's
aggressiveness, adaptability, and interpersonal skills. For more
