Was talking to my 12 yr old niece (no pics) yesterday afternoon and we got on the topic of future career choices. She said she wants to be an assassin. I kinda laughed and was like no, really? And she 100% seriously told me she wants to be an assassin for the U.S. Govt. She said she'd like to kill people and not really get in trouble for it. She's already attempting to learn Arabic on her own and plans on taking it in college.



That is not normal.

If she's 12 and she's a sociopath, then that die has already been cast at this point. That said, I don't think all sociopaths are of the same degree. She does care somewhat about getting in trouble.

Maybe being a CIA field op would be right up her alley? There's plenty of sociopaths that manage to lead very productive lives.

Camp Peary is no joke and the final stages of police impersonation, assassination and body disposal of a random victim are tumultuous.

Sounds like she’s right on track though to be targeted and initially screened to be recruited.

Make her watch the first couple seasons of Dexter so she can learn the code.

It is good to have a goal in life, and the parents should foster this interest. I'm sure they can find summer camps to encourage development along these lines.

Why are you talking to a girl about careers? Are you a lesbian or a sicko feminist?

Your niece sounds cool as hell.

Be a good uncle and encourage and support her dreams.

How about telling her to stop having crazy ideas and get married and have kids like a normal woman so she won’t end up an unhappy spinster hag?

I know what you are saying and I think everyone thinks it would be cool to be a spy... Until they realize the actual risk involved.

Not to mention the total commitment that one must give to their job.

But any 12 year old knows exactly what they want to do as a career and focuses on it, I envy them. I wish that when I was 12, I found something I was so passionate about, that I would have been focused enough to start pursuing it.


They should show her that series with Sascha Baron Cohen where he played an Israeli spy. I wouldn't wish that life on anyone.

I’d recommend you kill her entire family and then put her under the care of a guy I know named Leon. He’s a real professional.
