RE: Travel Guide: Secrets of Switzerland
You have had the privilege of seeing truly some of the most spectacularly beautiful places mankind has settled in. Kudos on being adventurous and going off the beaten path to explore.
You may be approached by US security services at some point in the near future to work as a contractor. They tend to recruit young people who aren't afraid to travel, are physically active, and have a clean criminal history. Foreign language proficiency & a social platform where they have a following are increasingly useful. If you get a BS degree, your chances of being recruited are very high indeed.
Safe travels.
@shendai Thank you, I have had an amazing experience traveling throughout the world. I would be very interested in the recruitment, do you know what types of jobs that entails? I don't know much about the subject!
Probably shouldn't go into too much detail here, but working for 3-letter US agencies as an external contractor is very common. At least two hosts of nature/travel shows that aired throughout the late 1970's / early 1980's were such hires because they could get into politically sensitive areas under the pretext of documentary journalism. It continues to this day.
The recruitment meetings were historically a bit dramatic, where candidates might be approached discreetly at a coffee shop or other innocent seeming place in the target country of interest but its much more direct nowadays. Mostly through a big envelope that arrives at your address of record, or a phone call that openly identifies the caller and sets up an immediate interview.
As always, safe travels & choose your path wisely.
