    Actually, knocking right on their door isn't such a poor idea. Typically they prefer these things handled by email or some other mode of communication they have set up, but it's not much different than just saying "I want a job". Yes they recruit from schools, but they also tend to need and want applicants. And for the record, not everyone at these departments is a total genius. In fact, many will tell you that personality type is as important as intellectual capacity. They need 'muscle' and guys to do the dirty jobs (no, this doesn't mean what you think, chi) as much as they need high-level analysts.

    As for the 'cool jobs' (where you get to do the John LeCarre shit); those come after years of service in much more boring jobs.

    But yeah, it really is no gravy train. However, your ship can come in if you switch to private securities companies after a number of years of civil service. Or so I hear.
