What to Do With My Talent

I have a serious knack for secrecy, ie creating undetectable ciphers and codes, along with two-part passwords that are difficult to crack. My only problem with this is that I don't know what to do with these talents. I'd think about joining the CIA, except that:
a) I don't want to risk my life daily (Imagine if I was caught! )
and
b) I don't agree with a single thing the CIA does.
Being an inconspicuous little girl, I'd actually be pretty useful, plus, assuming that I did it now, nobody can legally hurt me. Sadly one disadvantage to being an inconspicuous little ginius is that the people who could actually use me wouldn't consider me. Any ideas?

I suggest a career at McDonald's. Maybe one day you'll be a manager... maybe.

McDonald's is the more likely option, though.

Use them to make ZU not be so vulnerable to hacking.

Oh wait, you want to use them for actual reasons. Thats a pipe-dream I'm telling you in the above! You're better off using them to secure your phone or something similar.

Yeah, except I don't like what the government does, like torture people and keep secrets that peope wanna, and possibly gotta know. Maybe I should just use it to keep my diary of strange happenings that I may reveal someday. (starts to literally cry)
Oh, (choice of diety or someone you really respect) dang it.... WWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!
EDIT: Hack stuff?! No way! I could possibly use it to help ZU, though. (starts to feel better)

No, I did mean McDonald's. Burger flipping is a respectable job; someone needs to do it, and it's not going to be me.

Being a vegitarian who hates McDonalds (I'm hard to please ), I'm not gonna do it, either.

Talking

Oh my gosh! Oh, this is so embarrasing! Of all of the times to forget how to spell genius...oh, yes, it had to be now, oh, crud, oh.... Oh, crud, oh my gosh.... Pretty funny though, and what a paradoxal. Anyway,

So please, dont get all high and mighty on this part.

As for the 'torturing' people, not EVERYONE supports this. Hell if it does go on, half the government is oblivious to it, because it doesnt involve them to begin with.

But it is also the government that keeps you safe. If you are such talented in what you claim and could be used to help protect its computers, you probably should. Would be bad if a hacker go access to government computers.
Good points, there. Still, I think that we all deserve the truth...but I could be wrong. Maybe we'd all want to move out of the country if we found ou what was happening, merely out of embarassment. Nah, just joking, but yeah, I'll lie if I need to keep my precious secrets that just about nobody else would get. Maybe that's the type of secrets the government keeps. Yeah, I could use them to help keep others' secrets, plus, for any clubs, kid and adult alike, could use them. Totally! (brightens) YYYYYYYYYYAAAAAHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOO!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot, guys! I now know how to use my talent!

Most CIA agents probably work in office, or atleast your 'talent' wouldnt put you into the field work.

Do you even know what the CIA does? You make it sound like they are all James Bonds/Jason Bornes going around killing people or torturing them as if they were heartless bastards.


So you think you deserve to keep your secrets, but the government can't? What makes you so special?

Besides if the government allowed every bit of information they had to anyone, countless people would die. First off, our government computer systems would be comprimised before you could say 'Holy-' I wonder how much damage a person could do if they gained full access to your governments computer systems?

Then there are the countless undercover agents. Years of work trying to penetrate organizations, all gone to waste. Tax payers money down the drain, along with countless lives. All because some people thought they NEEDED to know everything that goes on.

You open pandora's box when you claim you think the government should tell us all their secrets and think we have the right to it.

Simply put, we dont. You want to learn the secrets so bad, join the government and work your way up.

Yep, but George Bush Senior was in it, so...uh...my brain isn't working with me tonight. (It's 21:49 here, and I've had a long day.) Sorry for my lame excuse. I need to go to bed, and won't be here for a couple of days.
