Would you want your son or daughter to work for the CIA, Justice Department or FBI?

Curious to hear y'alls thoughts on this:
Would you want your son or daughter to work for the CIA, the Justice Department, or the FBI? These institutions have played major roles in shaping national security and law enforcement, but they've also been at the center of controversy in recent years. For those who lean MAGA or are skeptical of the federal bureaucracy, how do you feel about a loved one joining one of these federal agencies? Is it seen as honorable service, or do the current political dynamics make it a more complicated choice?

The qualifications are probably low, it would be a waste of talent.

Nope nor serve in the military. Why serve a country that hates us?

Depends on what they want to do. If they want to work in human intelligence operations, the CIA is largely how you do that. There are also plenty of patriots in the DO. But it costs you a lot, so I probably wouldn’t want it for my kids.
There are lots of vehicles to be an 1811 and plenty of ways to be a public servant in law, but the FBI and DOJ may (and hopefully will) look very different when my kids come of age.
