Review: Definition of Money A Currency is just an ordinary piece of paper of least value unless we respect the ?promise? it is always carry along with it. In general, the more the people connected with a particular Currency are noble, honest and orderly, the more is the value of the Currency, they behold. The inherent nature of Currency is its constant movement through quick circulation from one hand to the other benefiting each and every while keeping its property intact and building its value of doing miracles unless stopped reasonless by any to make it one?s servant to order a command, exactly alike the blood system within the body which is flowing nonstop from one?s birth to one?s death to keep an entity alive without experiencing any arrest but feeding the entire cells within the body equally to make a body sound and healthy. When the flow is halted for whatever reason, the entire body becomes ill and struggles to survive. Similarly when someone with a dirty mind stops the flow of fund from constantly changing of hands for whatever reason, a stroke shall occur to the entire system which shall instantly make a well run ?Economy? of a Country or a State paralyzed.

Review: I don't know what "a spy's wife" is talking about. If her husband really was a current operative at the CIA, then he would be fired shortly after her comment. Also, of course they encourage hostility to Arabic people, it is part of his job. And thirdly, the CIA is ideal, because it has a whole lot of desk jobs and such, not just "spies".

Review: How useful is a compilation of "good places to work" derived from the opinions of people who don't work in any of those places? It's like ranking cigarette brands on the opinions of nonsmokers.

Review: The CIA in the top 5? As a wife of a current CIA secret operative, please let me inform you that there is a 80% divorce rate among families serving overseas. Further, there is a great deal of pressure on undercover operatives to lower their moral and ethical standards in dealing with non-Americans. The detainment, torture and lack of human rights compliance is encouraged at every level. A new policy was just put into effect: to have a promotion this year one MUST serve 1 year in Iraq, Pakistan or Afgainstan. These TDYs are unaccompanied therefore spouses and children are left with no support from the deployed spouse, no support from the agency (because people like my husband don't exist) and no ability to talk about it with family. If you don't value human relations, then perhaps the CIA is the place for you. However, if you truly want to improve national security, perhaps USAID, Peace Corps who care of people & their own employees would be of more interest.

Review: DOS-a love-hate relationship. DC is the pits. Overseas great. We stand shoulder to sholder in the combat zone and is some of the best and worst places on earth. We are the targets for world anger and the voice of America. It is not a day at the mall. You have to engage the world and it is not for the weak and timid souls who complain about trivial inconveniences of traffic or lines at the store. There is a lot of stress and hard work but for the tough, it is rewarding. DOS is the only agency that is externially focused. (The Secretary is the focus of the Department) Other Departments are more internally focused with the Americian public as its focus. Depending on the Secretary DOS operations may get overlooked and the staff suffers. In recient years many positive changes have taken place.

Review: I'm not sure how Wachovia was ranked so low (86) on this list. I've compared my offer to those of my friends and it is one of the most competitive. Also, the culture at the company is excellent, with a lot of emphasis on career development as well as community service. Most importantly, the pay is very fair and, in most cases, higher than companies that were ranked above Wachovia.

Review: This is great information for new or prospective grads, but what are the stats on young 28-35+ professionals with an undergraduate degree and 5+ years of experience who are looking for career progression and development? This group may already be in the $80,000 to $100,000 salary range. Which employers are looking for this already up-and-coming demographic?

Review: The undergads that rated US DOS really need to open their eyes. They need to talk to someone first who has worked or is working for the department before rating it. The department puts up a good front, but in reality they treat their personnel with indifference. They should have an experience with the Berlin Personnel office and then they will definitely have a different view on the DOS being the third best employer.

Review: That link will take you to the GS scale...the Foreign Service uses the FS scale...see here: http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/30701.pdf Starting salary for bachelor's degree and no experience is about $40,000. But unlike some other federal agencies, they actually have an active student loan assistance program.
