Scholarships anyone?
Welcome to the Intelligence Scholars Program, spy on your school, and classmates, attend CIA summer camps, and you could get up to 50k annually!
"Are you a high school senior planning to enroll in an accredited four- or five-year college program or a college sophomore interested in working for a dynamic agency? If so, the Central Intelligence Agency might have a special program and career position for you."
From the CIA student opps page
No worries there are graduate opps as well!
"The United States is at war. Thus, to put it simply, the existing divide between academe and the intelligence community has become a dangerous and very real detriment to our national security at home and abroad."

This is unnerving, in the way that US national security agencies these days are unnerving as an entity. But this is nothing new - the CIA and FBI have used civilians ever since the creation of those agencies as information resources. If you know anyone that works in international business, chances are they have worked for or have been approached by the CIA to collect information on other countries. I don't know that this makes it any less creepy, but I do think that the fear of paranoia against anthropologists suggested in this article is a little extreme.
