This is interesting, since the US doesn't recognise dual citizenship.
"I can't imagine what Hell will have in store, but I know when I'm there, I won't wander anymore."I sometimes hear trickled-down rumors of a former student at my school who became an undercover FBI agent and, I quote "went missing" after revealing that fact to his former English teacher.
I have no idea if this is even remotely true. The English teacher is the one who told me it and has a reputation as something of a jokester.

I spread my wings and I learn how to fly....Lucky: Could have sworn it does. I know a couple military brats with dual citizenship. Granted, not too sure.
Oh, you'd probably get some sort of clearance level for that job. :P Shame about the requirements being too much.

dysfunctional human artistryYou can get dual citizenship, but only the other nation would recognise it. My friend's mom is a dual citizen in the US and I think South Africa, but the US doesn't give a shit.
"I can't imagine what Hell will have in store, but I know when I'm there, I won't wander anymore."There is nothing wrong with the job. It will pay well and is a sign that you are very trustworthy if they offer it to you. I would take it and abide by the rules. The pay will be worth it and it will be good work for you. You will of course not likely be able to really tell anyone much about what you do but that is the cost of such a job. It is not that distasteful to be a translator.
Who watches the watchmen?I think Moony plans on moving in a year or so, Tue. That job sounds more like a career. Besides, it takes a year or two according to what he posted just to get through the processing.
dysfunctional human artistryAnd it would pay very well, be good on a resume, and could literally open quite few other career options for him in the future. Both with the Government and with private industry. Honestly folks there is nothing wrong with with working for the man or even a three letter agency. Not all the things they do is evil and corrupt.
Who watches the watchmen?@Tuefel: I'm not saying it's a bad idea, it's just that:
1) The application/processing for the job may take anywhere between one and two years, and I plan to move to a different country in a little over one year. The idea is to save up money to make that possible, and if I don't even have a job by then, it'll be tricky.
2) It may offer prestige and career opportunities here, but I don't know what good that may or may not do me when I am no longer a citizen of this country.
However, all this talk of government jobs reminded me that my cousin at the NSA said that I could always try to get an internship with him. He does cybercryptography or something. Of course, that's in Alaska and I'm not a big fan of the cold.
dysfunctional human artistryWell, technically cryptography can be done fineless efficiently without computers, but it can be done. But mostly it's because I can't remember what the job actually is.

That looks like a looooooooot of shit you don't want to get tied up in.
