I think its important to hear that the work conditions may suck, the pay may suck and the opportunities for advancement, especially for women, are not always the best. A lot of people have some very strong opinions about the CIA, both good and bad, and I enjoy hearing all the viewpoints. As I am considering a career change, I would be pretty suspicious if someone came to me and said this would be a cakewalk. BTW, Mark, I will do anything not to have a desk job any longer. I want to create, to have an outlet for my creative side, to apply my organizational and people skills in an environment that promotes creativity.
Kitchens are hot the hours suck and conditions are pretty poor.
Think hard, think twice. BTW, Mark, I will do anything not to have a desk job any longer.
