<p>^ no. To be competitive for the FBI:</p>
<p>Education: Master’s Accounting/Computer Science or JD
Experience: military service (preferably as a commissioned officer and combat arms) or law enforcement experience</p>
<p>Would i degree in criminology be a good choice or would sociology, antropology, or forensic science be a better choice. Would you have to go masters or would a bachelors degree be fine. And last question whats the bets colleges in the midwest for a criminology major. Thanks to anyone who asnwers these questioins.</p>
<p>Go to the FBI website. They’re very clear on what they would like.</p>
<p>Basically exactly what Polo said…</p>
<p>It’s highly unlikely you will get a job in the FBI straight out of college. Sure, you have to be 23 at the minimum to be an agent but the average age of an agent is around 30. </p>
<p>My dad has been working for the FBI for years now and he has a Masters, a Masters certificate and 24 years experience in the military (Air Force) and right now he is finishing up his MBA. </p>
<p>You’re best bet is the military or police (or fire/paramedics maybe) and/or graduate school + work experience.</p>
<p>It’s nearly impossible to get a job in the FBI straight out of college.</p>
<p>You’re best bet is probably graduate education (Computer Science, MBA, or JD) + military experience (preferably as a commissioned officer and from a combat arms branch if you’re interested in HRT). </p>
<p>Then you will be competitive, but the hiring process is really long.</p>
<p>Oh man, so many people want to be FBI profilers bc of criminal minds. Two things there:
(1) You absolutely will not get to be a profiler when you enter the FBI. That department only takes people who have ~10 years of experience. So know that you will spend (at least) your first decade with them doing other things.
(2) You don’t actually get to travel cool places. The best you’ll do is a conference call. So it’s really more of a desk job, from what I understand.</p>
