Re: Jobs within the Firearms Industry?

You're first generation American but I would imagine you have plenty of family in China still. China is in no way a friendly state towards the US and if you were to get into a G-man job then you need to be aware that you, your parents and extended family in China will become persons of interest to the Chinese govt. YOu would be an asset they would seek to own.
How would you behave if you father/mother approached you and asked you to help save the life/lives of some relatives back in China by breaking your oath of loyalty to this country in passing whatever sensitive information comes your way? Would you tell your employer that your parents are being blackmailed? That they made this request to you?
It's not an outlandish scenario and you may well be asked this as part of your selection process with certain agencies.
With you degree and if you have good grades there are many different avenues open to you if something in the fire arms industry doesn't pan out.
Whatever you do, good luck.</div></div>

If you can answer those questions correctly, and you want to use the language skills, DIA or NSA would be the way to go.
If you want to use your skills to get in the door, then use your degree, go to the largest employer of economist in the Fed Gov, the CIA.
