If you are looking for a stable career with plenty of job prospects, you might want to consider the terrorism and security industry. There are thousands of jobs listed with the federal government in this industry at a number of agencies, such as The Department of Homeland Security, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the State Department, and several others.

Terrorism and security jobs span across many different fields - intelligence, protection, law enforcement, and information technology, just to name a few. The terrorism and security salary depends on the job, as well as skills and experience that you have when you are hired. Also, many intelligence and law enforcement jobs offer targeted local market supplement, which can add as much as 36 percent to your terrorism and security salary.

Below are descriptions of some positions currently being offered in the terrorism and security industry. The terrorism and security salary would depend on experience and education, but tend to be quite competitive.

--Supervisory Intelligence Officer (Terrorism) This position is with the Defense Intelligence Agency. The person hired will supervise a team of specialists in their day to day operations. They will ensure that terrorism intelligence programs are met. Knowledge of intelligence policies are required as well.

--Chief, Worldwide Incidents Tracking Team This is a management position with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The new hire will manage the Worldwide Incidents Tracking Team, which is responsible for documenting acts of terrorism.

The person is also responsible for writing guides and reports, as well as being a liaison within the intelligence community.

The above is a small fraction of the jobs available with the federal government. As you can see there are a wide variety of positions available. For more information on the terrorism and security salary associated with these careers, you can visit the agency websites.

To be qualified for these positions, you must have at least an education in the specific field. For instance, the jobs in intelligence require an understanding of intelligence basics like the intelligence cycle.

The intelligence cycle is the five-step process that is at the core of intelligence tradecraft. The steps are planning and direction, collection, processing, analysis and production, and dissemination. Every intelligence professional is well-acquainted with the intelligence cycle and its importance to intelligence work.

Even if the intelligence cycle is a completely new concept that you learned while reading this article, this does not mean that a career in terrorism and security is out of reach. There are intelligence studies degree programs available at many colleges, even online. These programs will teach you the ins and outs of terrorism, security, and intelligence ... including the intelligence cycle.

  • The Battle Of Puebla And Cinco De Mayo (Robert Nickel)
    Why does the United States celebrate every May 5, or Cinco de Mayo? It's only a regional holiday in Mexico, and is often mistaken to be the commemoration of their Independence Day (which is actually in September).

Once an illiterate shepherd, this Zapotec native rose to become a lawyer and eventually ended up involved in some of the most important...

  • How Maximilian I Became Emperor Of Mexico (Robert Nickel)
    It might not be a commonly known fact, but Mexico was, at two separate points, a monarchy; each reign lasted less than five years and was filled with revolts, infighting, and puppet rulers. The first Mexican Empire took place shortly after the country won its independence from Spain in 1821, but collapsed less than eight months after its establishment. The second attempt was the result of Napoleon III's invasion in 1862...

  • All About the Reform Wars (Robert Nickel)

  • Who Was Empress Carlota? (Robert Nickel)
    For a very brief period of time in Mexico's long and turbulent history, they were ruled by Emperor Maximilian I and his consort, Empress Carlota. This regime was doomed to end in a bloody manner almost from the start, as they had been crowned after an invasion by France and were stuck in between an unfairly deposed liberal party and the conservative conspirators who disliked their practices.

  • The Reign And Downfall Of Mexico's Last Emperor (Robert Nickel)
    When Napoleon III invaded Mexico in 1862, he had the support of certain members of the country's conservative party. Politically, the republic had been wracked with civil war and disputes over ideological reform, and the Imperialists wished to return to a monarchy. The French put the Austrian Archduke Maximilian on the throne in 1864; his reign lasted just over three years...

  • The French Invasion of Mexico (Robert Nickel)
    Much of the political history of Mexico following the War of Independence comes down to two sides: the liberal Republicans and the conservative Imperialists. These factions had squabbled for decades over how the country should be run, and whether it should be a reformed democracy or a religious, highly controlled monarchy. The French invasion of the 1820s was a bloody extension of this fundamental internal disagreement...
