I also highly recommend that you invest time reading autobiographies and watching documentaries for your field. Look for items which give you a sense of what the career is actually like day to day - not just exciting pieces touting the biggest wins.
You may also want to do some research into similar career paths. You may find that there are lesser known careers that share many of the attributes you find engaging about this path.

As a high school student preparing for a career in criminal profiling, start by focusing on subjects like psychology, criminology, and law enforcement. These will help you build a strong foundation for understanding criminal behavior and investigative techniques. Get involved in extracurricular activities like debate, psychology clubs, or internships that provide relevant experience. Reading books and articles on criminal psychology and profiling will also deepen your knowledge. Consider volunteering or shadowing professionals in law enforcement or criminal justice fields to gain real-world insights. Finally, plan for a college degree in criminal justice or psychology, as this is crucial for profiling careers.
