If you are looking to be a special agent, you have to have a bachelor degree. You will not be looked at otherwise, regardless of your IQ score. The majority of the other positions require degrees as well. The only way that you could bypass this academic prerequisite would be to have served in the armed services (Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, etc) or to have many years as a police officer. The best option for you would be to enroll in school or sign up with the police. You have to consider the fact that there will be people out there that, while they may not have all the special skills that you have, will have a degree or two, and this would bump you out of the running. For instance, I have 2 degrees, 2 minors, and 2 memberships in national honorary societies.....though I only have to meet 1 of 3 criteria to go in at the GS level that I want, I meet all 3. So, if you and I were going up for the same position, I would most likely be the person that gets the job, because I meet all the requirements. So, like I said before, if you want to work in a position of high importance (meaning something that you need security clearance for), you're going to have to go get a degree or enlist in the services or work in a police dept. for a while. Good luck!\n\n\n\nAlso, you do not need to necessarily have a degree in Criminal Justice. Any bachelor degree will suffice, but there are specific fields of study that are in high demand right now. You can go to www.fbi.gov to get this information.

Um, yeah, sure. Just go to your local FBI office and ask them, I'm sure they can help you.

No, then working as a hit man would be the ideal job. The most important thing is to find a job you enjoy doing so you aren't bored. I worked 25 years for the same employer because I enjoyed it. We had to move and I have put in another 9 years in the same field and I plan to work into my 70s because I like what I am doing. I could have made more money but I would have had ulcers and the stress of unhappiness on my body doing something I didn't enjoy.

Have you tried any federal agencies?  FBI, maybe??  Depends what you are interested in!

The FBI are routinely moved between cities, so if you join the FBI you probably won't settle down.\n\nOtherwise, it depends what you want out of being a police officer to decide what type of city you would like.  I'd suggest looking into being a State Trooper--larger jurisdiction, usually more money, better training, and they usually get all the really big, high profile cases.

Yea. But thank goodness there is an FBI relocation program, just in case.

I once applied to work at the FBI and it took about 3 months to repond to my application and resume, then about 6 months to complete a background check.  So I'm sure yours could take a long time too!

There is, and have been major law enforcement inter-agency cooperation and communication breakdowns in this country.  These breakdowns are well documented.  Probably not a good idea to start another federal agency until said breakdowns are eliminated.

The FBI had an opening for an assassin.\n\n \n\n \n\nAfter all the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were 3 finalists.\n\nTwo men and a woman.\n\nFor the final test, the FBI agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.\n\n"We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances.  Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair.\n\nKill Her!"  \n\nThe man said, "You can't be serious, I could never shoot my wife."  The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job.  Take your wife and go home."\n\nThe second man was given the same instructions.\n\n \n\nHe took the gun and went into the room.  All was quiet for about 5 minutes.  The man came out with tears in his eyes,  "I tried, but I can't kill my wife."\n\nThe agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."\n\nFinally, it was the woman's turn.\n\n \n\nShe was given the same instructions, to kill her husband.  She took the gun and went into the room.  Shots were heard, one after another.  They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls.\n\nAfter a few minutes, all was quiet.  The door opened slowly and there stood the woman.  She wiped the sweat from her brow. \n\n"This gun is loaded with blanks" she said. "I had to beat him to death with the chair."

Here are some quotes from the CIA on this matter:\n\nI am a student considering a future career at the CIA. What courses should I take, or what major should I choose?\n\nCIA employees represent a wide variety of disciplines from an even broader mix of academic backgrounds and experience. Therefore, we don't recommend one academic track over another in general.\n\nThe Agency's personnel requirements change from month to month as positions are filled and others become available. Our best advice to you is to do your very best and strive for good grades. Fluency in a foreign language is a good addition. Above all, understand that your choices and behaviors now are a reflection of your personal integrity, character and patriotism.\n\nWhat student programs does the CIA offer?\n\nThe Central Intelligence Agency offers several programs for students considering a career in the intelligence field. Each program offers valuable educational and practical work experience that enhances the student's chosen field of study and prepares them for the future. These positions are extremely competitive and students are given a salary and excellent benefits. Review our programs and how to apply on our Student Opportunities page.\n\nNow that being known the list of positions that the CIA hires can be found at the link: http://www.cia.gov/employment/viewall.html\n\nI will say that working for the US Govt. for an agency that is misunderstood can become madding at points but can be the most rewarding thing that you can ever do.  Good Luck\n\nP.S.  What ever you do during any type of application process do not LIE.  That will be the end of dreams that you have.  Personal trust is one of the most important qualifications you can have.

You first need to realize the FBI does not have a job called "Profiler." The tasks commonly associated with "profiling" are performed by Supervisory Special Agents assigned to the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime (NCAVC) at Quantico, Virginia. These FBI Special Agents don't get vibes or experience psychic flashes while walking around fresh crime scenes. It is an exciting world of investigation and research—a world of inductive and deductive reasoning; crime-solving experience; and knowledge of criminal behavior, facts, and statistical probabilities.\n\nIn addition to constructing "profiles" (descriptions of the traits and characteristics of unknown offenders in specific cases), the NCAVC staff provides many services to law enforcement agencies around the world. These services include major case management advice; threat assessment; and strategies for investigation, interviewing, or prosecution.

There will be thousands of procedures and practices.  A good start would be to review the web page for the FBI lab.\n\nhttp://www.fbi.gov/hq/lab/labhome.htm

Study the company in case they ask you any specifics about what you know about them.  I had an interview with the FBI once and they were asking things like, "What do you know about the hierarchy of the FBI?" and "Can you name a case that you know we are involved in right now?"  \n\nAlso be prepared with strengths and weaknesses that you have - turn the weaknesses into a positive somehow.  \n\nI think Monster.com has a section on interview tips that might be helpful to you.

Of course not.  You're not with the FBI are you?

If you are interested in a career in law enforcement, Albany NY has one of the best schools of criminal justice in the nation. The FBI requires a masters degree, however your degree need not be in a law related field. Lawyers, computer tech. and CJ majors are just of a few of the degrees the FBI looks for. So does the college really matter..no just the degree.
