...what am I missing? How is Joss Whedon connected to the CIA?

Nah, he's just a lizard person.

Maybe OP is confusing him with JJ Abrams and thinks he created Alias?

the cia is full of vampires

Agents of ~~SHIT~~ SHIELD basically, it made the idea of abusive secret organizations mildly popular. Of course wanting to join the sons of satan, as the cia is affectionately known by the people it has fucked over, the OP deserves to be dumped in a ditch somewhere in dickwolf country.

...huh?

bad reason.

Uh...yeah. You don't join the CIA. They find you. It's kind of like Fight Club that way.

No, you can apply to work at the CIA, just like any other job, but it's very competitive.

Uh...yeah. The CIA in real life isn't the way it's portrayed in movies and on TV, bb.

This is totally accurate. Or at least it is in my head, because I'm assuming you're Chuck Bartowski.

... lol.

I grew up in a city that was created to support the military industrial complex, roughly 4-8 hours away from D.C. (depending how how bad traffic was that day). I used to work for a contractor. It was not uncommon to meet federal agents of some kind or another. Additionally, my uncle was in the Secret Service.

Make sure you have a back-up plan. This is the kind of job where a lot of people wash out of training. Even if you get through that, the job itself can be very hard on families. Also, a lot of it seems to revolve around following a paper trail (although I imagine by now that's changed to spying on someone's phone or internet).

I'm confused. What does Joss Whedon have to do with the CIA?

It's good to have dreams like this and a clear idea of what you want to do so you can work towards that goal. So, yeah, you go, OP, doesn't matter if some people think your reasoning is stupid!

...do you want to covertly off him or something?

That was my thought too. Which STILL means that OP doesn't really understand how the CIA works, of course...

Context, OP?

I wonder sometimes if people want to join the CIA because of Hollywood portrayals. I hope that isn't the case for you, OP. Most jobs in the CIA and all the other alphabet soup agencies are pretty mundane. You read stuff, you write about what you read, you send it on for someone else to read so they can write about what you wrote, they send it on...

If you see anything that screams "people are about to blow up a building", you sit on it 'til afterwards and then submit it onwards with a recommendation for a budget increase and more strikedowns of freedom of speech, movement, protest, and privacy. That is the CIA way. It is all about protecting the agency's budget and reach...and maybe lives somewhere waaaaaaay down the list of priorities.

(reply from suspended user)

Holy shit, tell him. He'd probably tear up :P

Yeah, go get whistleblowers like Bradley Manning and lock em up deep. Say tata to any conscience you might have had, you're now in the service of The End Justifies The Means.

In all seriousness, though, a degree in accounting might help. I believe that is the background many agents have. A lot of intelligence gathering has to do with numbers and money.

Or fluency in multiple languages.

Re: Why, so you can surveil him?
