Hi Erasmom
What a wonderful career to consider! A few things you couid do is to visit the FBI's website and review the career section for info. Another idea would be to contact the San Franciso field office to see if you could schedule a career related visit, I'm sure they would be very happy to accomodate you. It might be an excellent place for a school field trip as well. You could also read some excellent books by former FBI Agents. Good luck!

I have a good friend who is an FBI investigator. She spend large part of her days outside the office, “in the field,” working on cases. However, she also spends an entire day in the office completing paperwork related to investigations. These varied tasks usually mean that a day in the life of a Special Agent will differ from the one before. In reality, the most effective agents can be very personable, outgoing, and have a good sense of humor. The job is about getting people to relax, getting witnesses to help you, getting criminals to confess, getting guys to work for us instead of us for them. Likability is a very important trait at the FBI.
I would consider a degree in one of the following
Criminal Justice.
Computer Science.
Cyber Security.
Finance.
Forensic Accounting.
International Studies.
Public Safety Administration.
Psychology.
So since you are in high school, make great grades in high school and also in college. While in college look for internships with law enforcement agencies.
