Estelle’s Answer

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.

Hello!
Great question! According to the FBI website, the requirements are US, Citizenship, aged 23-36 years old, Fitness requirements, bachelor's degree, three years of work experience, and a US driver's license. While technically, any major will meet the requirement, certain majors are in higher demand such as Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), Foreign Languages, Law, Emergency Medicine, Accounting, Engineering. Additionally people with experience in the military, police and are pilots are given preference. You can view the requirements online at https://www.fbijobs.gov/career-paths/special-agents.

Good Luck!
