Nick’s Answer
Hello Pamela! I believe you are describing a Crime Analyst position. The FBI hires analysts with all kinds of background and educational combinations. For example, a Forensic Accountant Master’s degree would be very useful in a specialized unit in the FBI. The same for a law degree. However, a Criminal Justice undergraduate degree would be just as versatile to help in many areas. And, they’re always looking for people with foreign language skills!
I would encourage you to research the FBI Experience website listed below, and try to schedule a trip post-COVID closures.
Additionally, look into FBI employment positions by following the link to the FBI Employment page. There it shows career paths for various positions within the organization.
