With just a bachelor's degree you would qualify for GS 5 jobs which are going to be very entry level and not prestigious in any agency. Your best bet would be positions posted under Recent Graduates authority but those are likely tied to specific degrees and specialties as there is a push to remove unnecessary degree requirements from hiring.

With what kind of degree? What kind of specialty? Mission support positions or mission-specific?

Nope. Moving up in Justice requires you to be a lawyer. A new college grad will do better somewhere that won't require a professional license to advance

I don’t think CIA is all that prestigious.

For a lot of agencies, you can get a job there if your parent works there. Is that prestigious?

CIA is the most prestigious but you can't talk about it. So I guess State is next.

I agree with State. Perhaps followed by Treasury?

With just a bachelor's degree. I'm sorry to use prestige, I personally dislike that word, but I suppose it is somewhat synonymous with selective or highest standards. I'm assuming State is at or near the top (?), but I only base that on the fact they seem to have a lot of Ivy Leaguers and wealthy young adults. I'm sure I'm inviting snark, but I appreciate serious responses. I'm just a clueless mom trying to learn. Thank you sincerely.
