Do you speak any foreign languages?

If so, there are many oppurtunities in government work such as the CIA or FBI, but the one I find interesting is the State Department, If you are looking to get into politics, it won't hurt to get some experience in foreign relations which you would get @ the state dep. as a foreign officer. If you don't know a foreign language, it may help to learn one (i.e. Arabic, farsi, kurdish, Pashto, Dari, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean). Coming from an intelligence field background I can tell you these languages have a bright future. Plus if you decide at some point to go into the private sector, there is very good money in interpretation.
