No offense intended but you will have to better with your questions. The CIA employs all sorts of folks from accountants to janitors, drivers to photo interpreters. And if you want to get into the "feet on the ground" spying that is a whole different matter.
Start reading about the agency. You can get a reasonably good idea of the skills necessary.
I can tell you one thing. You will have to pass a background investigation at least as thorough as the one I was subjected to. So keep your nose clean, no stripping, no drugs, no DUI nothing of that nature will do you any good. Also maintain your finances in good shape. Just being in too much debt can cause you problems. When someone is always in need of money their allegiance can be bought. Never forget your associates either, we are know by the company we keep. Live your life so you can sell your talking parrot to the town gossip. That's Will Rogers' line but it's most appropriate here.
Concentrate on core subjects the first 3 to 4 semesters of college. By then you should have some idea of exactly what interests you. When you decide, the road to the goal will become obvious.
Good luck.
