What it takes to work for the FBI\n\nAs of June 30, 2003, the FBI employed 11,633 Special Agents and 15,904 Professional Support people. The FBI hires its own employees through recruitment efforts by the field offices and a centralized hiring system at Headquarters. Due to the FBI's responsibilities in criminal law enforcement and in the Intelligence Community, all FBI employees, whether they are Special Agents or Professional Support, must qualify for a top-secret security clearance before they can begin their service. This qualification includes an extensive background investigation. The FBI does not make a final decision to hire an individual until all the information gathered during the background investigation is assessed. Once hired, all FBI employees must maintain their eligibility for a top-secret security clearance, undergo a limited background check every five years, and submit to random drug tests throughout their careers.\n\nSome positions within the FBI also require a medical examination, and some require employees to sign an agreement stating their willingness to be assigned anywhere in the world.\n\nFBI Special Agents are specially trained personnel, chosen from an extensive pool of applicants because they possess specific areas of expertise. To be an FBI Special Agent, an individual must:\n. be a United States citizen;\n. be at least 23 and not yet have reached his or her 37th birthday on appointment;\n. have at least a bachelor's degree from an accredited, four-year resident program at a college or university;\n. pass a written examination;\n. complete several in-person interviews; and\n. pass a comprehensive medical examination, including vision and hearing tests.\n\nApplicants with these qualifications will be chosen if they have specific experience or expertise needed by the FBI. The criteria changes over time according to the FBI's current priorities. Traditionally, the FBI seeks applicants with backgrounds in law enforcement, law, or accounting. Today, the FBI not only seeks applicants with these backgrounds, but also with expertise in languages, computers, and the sciences. For information on what specific skills the FBI is looking for today, check http://www.fbi.gov.\n\nOnce chosen, applicants must complete an intensive, seventeen-week training program at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. This training program teaches new Special Agents the basic skills they will need to conduct effective investigations in all the FBI's investigative programs.\n\nTrainees who complete the program are sworn in as Special Agents of the FBI. The new Agents then begin a two-year probationary period in which they must demonstrate the basic skills they learned at Quantico and learn advanced investigative techniques on the job from more experienced Special Agents. After the probationary period, Agents are required to keep their skills up to date through ongoing training. Agents may also choose to obtain special certification as a Special Agent Bomb Technician, a Technically Trained Agent, or a member of the elite Hostage Rescue Team.\n\nThe FBI's current staffing needs and investigative priorities determine to which office a new Agent will be assigned. During their careers, Special Agents are required to relocate to other offices in order to meet the FBI's needs.\n\nFederal law requires that Special Agents retire by age 57. In rare circumstances, the FBI Director may grant one-year extensions, up to age 60, for a particular Special Agent.\n\n\nCheck out the sources for some more information.

I don't know what the books will tell you but the typical way is to start as an assitant to an agent once you get out of school. Just so you know, you won't get paid much so I hope you'll have some income saved up or you might have to live with the parents.  I'm talking about making less than 30k if you become an assistant.  If you're an intern or trainee then you'll definitely have to live with your parents, but that's another good way.\n\nThe top agencies are Creative Artists Agencey (CAA), William Morris Agency (WMA), United Talent Agency (UTA), Endeavor, Gersh and then the rest get smaller (but those could be good starting points too).  I know WMA has a agent training program but you have to selected for it (link is below).  Research all these agencies by reading about them in the trades and just checking out their website to find out where you want to go.  \n\nThen you can check out the entertainment jobs boards or find a staffing agency.  UTA even has their own joblist that not everyone gets.  Some schools sign you up for the list  upon graduation.  I don't know any other way to get that list...it's kind of a secret list but some of the jobs listed on there can also be found on the regular job boards, so don't worry if you don't get the UTA joblist.  Entertainment staffing agencies are also good because they have direct contact with these agencies.  I'll leave it up to you to do your own research on these staffing agencies.  That's the very basic run down.  Good luck.

All of the previous answers are incorrect, and are obviously not answered by Masons.  Let me give you the real answer:\n\nTo become a Mason you must:\nBe a man over 18 years old (21 in some places).\nBelieve in a higher power (whether Christian, Muslim, Jewish, etc.)\nYou must ask to join.  We do not ask people to join.  You must ask us.\n\nSo if you are interested in becoming a Mason, just contact the Masonic lodge in your area and tell them you want to know more about them.  They will be happy to talk to you.  \n\nIf you have any other questions, please learn from real Freemasons such as myself.  Feel free to contact me.

Take lots and lots of acting classes.  Get yourself out to California or New York and try out for some Agents.  The key is to get an agent.  It is VERY hard to become a viable actress/actor without an agent.  Once you have an agent your in.  They'll get you auditions and everything else.  At that point it's up to you to sell yourself.

Definately not, they require a college degree and several years of real world experience.  Its very tough to go to work for them.  The average age of a new Special Agent is 30.

You will need to take a college level math course. It only has to be basic. In conjunction with your BS in CJ, I wholeheartedly recommend that you minor in either Psychology or Social Work. And if you plan to enter a career in Federal Law Enforcement, please be advised that many agents have specialized degrees in accounting, law, bio sciences, political science, psychology and human behavior. I would also encourage you to learn a foreign language to broaden your marketability.  Good luck.

You must take the civil service exam. Check with the post office in your area for testing locations or check online. Not all federal jobs require a security clearance.

The traditional path that one follows to become an Ambassador is to join the United States Foreign Service. In order to enter the Foreign Service, an individual must have a strong, well-rounded education. He/She must pass the oral and written sections of the Foreign Service Exam, administered by the US Department of State. Applicants must be between the ages of 20 and 59 to take the exam. \n\nThe US Department of State is the lead US foreign affairs agency. The Department hires Foreign Service, Civil Service and Student employees to work in Washington, D.C. at the agency’s offices in the United States and at nearly 265 posts abroad.\n\nFor further information, follow the link in Source(s).

start with making a portfoliio of your work from grade school and on...\n\nYou will be played with often, so choose a smart agent by going to actor's guild website and follow the money.  But I would start in a theater such as small acting schools in Chicago, or go to college such as Columbia cologe.

Two part answer:\n1.  When you are hired by the FBI, you attend New Agent Training in Quantico, VA.  After your 7 week there, you will get your orders to one of the 56 Field Offices.  Once you are at your field office, you will work a particular group of violations based on the squad you are on (i.e. White Collar, Terrorism, Violent Crimes, Cyber, etc).  The SAC (Special Agent in Charge) or an ASAC (Assistant Special Agent in Charge) will designate what squad you work on.  They attempt to look at your background and skillset, but its all based on needs of the bureau.  Crimes against children can be split up between between various squads with VCMO squads usually handling child slavery, prostitution, kidnaping, etc and the Cyber squads handling child pornography, travelers, etc..\n\n2.  To get hired, see www.fbijobs.com.  Skills/education/etc varies, but you need a 4 year degree and 3 years of job experience, or a Masters of PhD degree with less than 3 years job experience.\n\nAs a side note, you can call your local FBI office and ask to speak to the applicant coordinator (to learn more about how to get a job at the FBI) or the Crimes against Children coordinator (to learn more about that program)

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.
