When to Apply to CIA

[ellyr]

Hey all -

I'm currently in grad school getting a tech degree, already have the bachelors.  I've been thinking of trying to get into the CIA's PTP, but I'm not sure when to apply.  I'm not sure if the graduate degree I'm pursuing is the right overall path for me, I think that being in the CIA would be a much more fulfilling career.  

I don't want to burn any bridges, though.  I know that with my program, I could be a part time student.  If by some chance I actually was taken by the CIA, would have any chance of finishing my degree on the side?  Should I just leave everything for another few years?  Apply to the CIA anyway since hey, it's more than likely nothing will come of it?

Thanks

The CIA accepts students with a wide variety of majors.  If you really want to do it you should definitely apply, but don't put a hold on getting a more advanced degree.  The CIA thinks that this is a plus.  Keep going to school because the application process can be extremely long (6-18 months).
