Most if not all of them have flashy graduate programs.

or if you can speak a language.
Ugh the attitude some people have toward cops is infuriating.
A couple of years ago I reconnected with a guy from primary school on Facebook. At one point he posted a status saying something like, "Fucking hate the cops." which prompted me to ask why.
Basically, his friend had gotten busted for tagging and that pissed him off.

So what languages can you speak because I guarantee in a few years the focus will have moved to a different part of the world and you'll have to learn a new one.
Arabic

Certainly an appropriate avatar.
Still, just you wait until it becomes more focused in South East Asian terrorists and you have to learn Thai or Indonesian. Not that Indonesian isn't an easy as shit language but still.
they need people for every part of the world, regardless of where the focus is, the CIA still grab anyone who can speak russian or vietnamese.

plus i have an interest in middle eastern history. I didnt choose arabic just for the job.
Arabic is a really nice sounding language. Good choice.
I chose German in high school because the other option was French. German's still pretty cool (and easy to learn; it's really similar to English).
Though there's a huge amount of Arabic guys now due to the need for them and when stuff moves on, there will be a bit of a job shortage. You might be lucky having studied from the start and not being worried about not being in the action but who knows.

languages from the middle east aren't very nice sounding imo.
hebrew, arabic, persian etc - they all sound too hard.

there will never be a job shortage in the middle east,
radical Islam isnt something which is just going to disappear, just because Osama died a month ago, people think that this radical approach to Islam is just going to cease, it wont, not for a long time, this isnt some shady organisation which is just going to disappears. its an ideal a belief, ingrained into the mind of young men and teenagers, all over the globe, eventually they'll pass it on to the next generation and so forth, stuff like that is damn fucking hard to remove and the middle east will no doubt the the launching pad for the movement for decades to come.

Aha, I agree with you though. America has fucked itself over with a lot of the stuff they've done in the past 10 years in regards to the Middle East.
[QUOTE=hehe;30173313]i [i]want[/i] to go into counter terrorism.
usually most people go "LOL YOU WANT TO BE LIKE SAS SUPER BLACK OPS ASSASINATING BOURNE IDENTITY SPOOKS LOL" which is the complete opposite of what im looking at.[/QUOTE]

I know all ASIS and there shitty choices over the past 10 years, they went on a hiring spree after 9/11 and ended up employing a whole lot of shitty young kids who though they would be john rambo.
supposedly they learnt their lesson and fired a fuck load of them and their back to only choosing a few.

Nothing wrong with IT itself, I was considering doing it at one point. The problem is the people who are in IT are bad. Not the kind of quiet nerdy ones you get in a science degree, actual loud, annoying manchildren who are an embodiment of the shitposting on 4chan.
They aren't all like that, but that makes it worse because then you have to share a class for 3 years with them.
IT people are lazy
Everyone is lazy. Scientists do a few hours of research a week, Engineers stuff around on stupid shit most of the time, IT people just do whatever they want when there's a lull in work.

Theres heaps of stuff to fix at our uni, the locked like 1/2 the PC's in our main study room to the admin lock just because they forgot to log out, we've talked to them about 10 times to see if they could unlock them and they said "yeah, sure, we'll do it tomorrow".
It gets beyond the joke, vic uni uses net support to log attendance, so if you're not logged onto net support on the days you're meant to be there, it marks you away.
We've had to write our names on a piece of paper each day like in kindergarden.
All PC's are capped to 1kb/s, so finding references or using google docs for projects takes 10x longer or trying to access backups.
They won't allow us to share the uni's FTP for our major group projects, one of our tutors had to get his own FTP for it.
Yet, we get charged $30 if we download a GB worth of downloads.
