Need career advice — considering government intelligence fields?

NumNut asked:


hi, it’s been 2 years since i got my bachelor’s degree (mass communications). i still haven’t found the ideal job & was thinking of going a different direction — military intelligence. i want to get my master’s degree in something relevant to that, but i can’t decide how to start.
should i seek out an agency first, & see if they’ll help pay for my tuition in exchange for X amount of service?

i’m not even sure which specific field i’d like the most — maybe imagery analyst or linguist… anyone have experience in these fields & can shed some light on what i need to be studying?

also, are there tests out there that could help determine what my strengths are? for example, could i still take the ASVAB if i’m already out of college?

thanks for any insight

    Well im one step ahead of you in this process. Im going into the Air Force as an intel analyst. While in I hope to complete a Masters in International Relations. You can take the ASVAB whenever. Its easy for college grads. What was your GPA?
