Careers in MI5 & MI6

Okay.... so here goes. I want to become a spy in the secret intelligence service (try not to laugh too much, I know it's quite a dream) but anyway, yeah that's what I'd like to do.
I've been looking into this for a while now, and I would like to know what A-level options I should be thinking of taking (I am already pretty certain I will be studying Maths & Physics at A-level) and what courses I should be looking to study at Uni.
I'd also quite like to know how much "spies" are paid.
Thanks guys!! 😝
I know they want Mandarin and Arabic speakers.

Yeah I'm aware that it's secret, I probably won't make it as intelligence officer or anything anyway, but I just wanted to know more about the careers involved in the secret intelligence services!! thanks for the info😊😊

Hi I'm thinking of joining, any tips on the application process? Learning a language helps I heard!
I didn't know women would consider such a cruel career as cute. :colondollar:
