Many TSA employees transfer to CBP or ICE, however I have no interest in the law enforcement field and I would only consider a transfer to those two DHS agencies (and others) if it were in an accountant/finance/business management capacity.
For those asking why I'll be working with TSA with a Bachelor's in Economics and a Business Administration minor, just look at the economy. I dislike TSA's principles just as much as the next flyer, but some of us really don't have a choice or say with the economy the way it is.
I am not a government employee but it was my thought that any federal employee with status could transfer to another agency that had an available position that one was qualified and selected for.
Your education and skills would seem to make any number of agencies available to you.
It's important to review the qualification standards for a number of the financial management career fields.
Then, set up a search engine on USAjobs. PM me with an email address and I will be happy to help. I will be happy to look over your resume. The financial management career fields are wide open and every gov't agency has them, so your future looks bright.
