First work for the military or the FBI and get recruited from there. Or become a Mormon. Mormons have a relatively high representation in the FBI and State Department due to their aversion to common "vices", like drinking, drugs, and extramarital affairs. I'd assume it's not easy to apply directly without a reference or prior government work due to the adverse selection problem. You want to make it hard for double agents to get recruited so I assume they have more of a "don't call us, we'll call you" policy.
