The FBI Academy

There is one and one reason only as to why I would not become involved in a government agency: lack of nobility. My greatest fear is that this corruption would fall in place of inactivity, in other words, that I would have nothing to do. I don't want to press pens for a living, and such findings are commonly reported by common people. There have been a number of terrorist plots against our nation, a list can be found here that might (it is wikipedia, I maintain (admittedly lessened) doubts) suggest a greater availability of meaningful opportunity in our agencies:

There also exists a destination to look forward to if I would like to become involved with the scene, making it even more viable: The FBI Academy. Official website: http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/training/national-academy.

After gaining positive experience and making an impact in the scene of fire-fighting (which would also enable the possibility of starting a family.. although I'm not sure of the academy's requirements), I could move on to local, preferably higher-demanding, police work. After making a positive impact there and developing a solid reputation, I could easily attain a nomination from the chief of my police department and enroll at The FBI Academy, promising to serve at least three years in the Bureau. That gets me in!

Then I could go on.. maybe transfer from the FBI to the CIA, elsewhere, end up really enjoying the FBI and staying there a long time.. who knows? Politics? George Bush was the Director of the CIA for about a year.

Just ideas.
