    I wouldn't mind picking up another major if I had the funds for it.

    Then there's always the Air Force or Navy.

    I have a friend that works for the FBI. He was on the anti terrorist team for a while, which he said was a blast. Now fraud which is boring as heck he says. Also, he and his wife struggle a bit because he literally can't say anything to her about work

    I actually don't practice. I moved to Seattle towards the end of the dot com boom (right after law school) and got a job putting Pets.com and Drugstore.com products onto a light table. It was $18/hour to stand around in shorts with a really cute photographer (although I was married at the time, so it didn't really do me that much good), and then I transitioned to a project management role as the agency was looking for organized people who could learn quickly.

    I passed the bar a year or two later, but other than the money I've spent on CLEs and dues, I haven't had much to do with the legal aspect of my life.

    My gf is starting law school in the fall, and I anticipate learning a lot more about the legal community as she networks, etc., but right now I'm not a ton of help there. Sorry, man.

    If you want a federal job in law enforcement, you should also go to law school. My next door neighbor is a DEA agent, and he has his J.D. from Willamette after he studied criminal justice at Utah.

    I do speak another language so that's a definite plus.

    No problem about not being able to help. We just started thinking about it, but since she has a good gig down here we're a little reluctant to move (esp with 4 years of grad school loans). Good luck to your GF. Hopefully the legal market is better in a few years when she gets out. The market was horrible when my wife got out of school and San Diego was the closest to Por/Sea we could get (she went to school back East).

    Nice.

    I'm actually still working on my reading and writing. Years of living in the United States and the lack of practice has caused it to suffer.

    SE Portland now has a sizable Russian community. You could become an undercover DEA guy and bust the big Russian drug ring.

    I was able to read it but it took some time.

    I was considering DEA for a long time, but then it hit me that I'm not 100% against drugs.
