In spite of what people think about the glamor of the job, it really is not a good life, particularly for married folks. Many agents end up divorced, because they spend so much time away from their families. For many years now, the service has had trouble keeping agents because of the lousy working conditions. I have heard that there is about a 3-way split between single guys, married men who do not cat around while away, and married men who do cheat on their spouses.
Look for this to get worse unless the agency can address some of the problems.
And to be assigned to protect an enemy of one’s country must be extremely demoralizing.
