Any other thoughts? Feel free to share.
Are you asking us to decide your entire future for you?
Do what you're good at, get a degree in what you know or like, go to school where you can afford it or where you get grant money with relevance to your degree, get an internship and level up to 99.
I read your 3 jobs and they all sounds alike/the same. Close your eyes and poke your dick at your monitor, the ones it touches is your new carreer path.
Don't go with a major that is too specific, but don't go for one that is too broad. You will fuck yourself there.
If you want government jobs (especially intelligence related ones), go with linguistics and major in a Sematic language (Arabic), Chinese, Russian, or another major language (or if you don't want to go too specific, major in linguistics and study a bunch of languages). The United States government is very shorthanded with bilingual speakers for intelligence translation jobs.

Not really just seeing other people's opinions. I'm pretty well set on those three things and have been since I've looked into careers. I'm just not sure which one I like better.

That's the point.

I would stay away from Arabic until the middle east settles down...

Pretty much this. If you go into a job (especially government like Doug said) with Bi or Trilingual fluency on your Resume you'll make some fine profits.

Work is a mixture between your interests, the job security, and the salary.
