After I entered the intelligence community and completed advanced counterintelligence training, a seasoned instructor confided in me that I was distinguished as the most knowledgeable student of counterintelligence principles and history whom he had ever encountered in his multi-decade career as an instructor.
My knowledge of all the instruments of statecraft has given me a distinct advantage over my colleagues in the intelligence community, as well as those in other agencies and departments with whom I work regularly - of whom many are competent in the technicalities of their work but possess only a tenuous understanding of the possibilities, limitations, and history of their respective functions. Consequently, my career and country are both benefitting.
