How do I select what I want to be?
honestly feel like I'm at a crossroad. I've been told to get a job that pays well, but to also get one that I will enjoy in the long term. All my life, I've wanted to go into the crime and investigation studies , on the physical side, but I feel as though that would be something that wouldn't be in the long term and I would find myself not enjoying as I get older. I also have been looking into real estate and doing that in order to make money at a young age to invest it early. But, my parents are pushing me to get a degree, so I was thinking of getting a management degree to open my opportunities even further. But, if I were to minor in criminology studies, would there be a bridge in order to crossover both of those things? Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!!
How do I pursue a federal law enforcement field? What other fields are good for my major?
It’s been quite a while since my last question on here, and now I’m currently entering my senior year. I plan on majoring in homeland security (if i can go to a school with that major of course), and i hope to double major with a second major in behavioral science if not, criminal justice. I still haven’t been able to figure out a path after graduating though. I’d like to try and go for the FBI even if it’s ambitious, but do you guys have any advice for going in the federal law enforcement route? thanks in advance

How do I know if I will enjoy becoming an FBI agent? Or if I'll be good at it or successful?
I love watching TV shows related to law enforcement, whether it's from the perspective of a criminal or law enforcer. I wanted to become an FBI Agent ever since my brother was murdered and for some reason it really interests me that they solve different kinds of cases all over the United States. I've been a part of an FBI program for high school students and they make us role play and pretend to actually be "agents" but I'm afraid that it'll be way too competitive out there in the field that I won't get in. What if I do get in and I don't enjoy it? What would my daily life look like if I was an FBI Agent? #FBI #law-enforcement #law #federal-agent #fbi-agent #success
I want to work at the Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI but I have many questions.
Prepare yourself, I'm a talkative and curious kid. I'm interested in psychology, human behavior, criminology, criminal justice, and criminal profiling basically I want to get into the criminal's minds and make a profile about them and help the police catch them. But I already know that it's not as exciting as TV shows like Criminal Minds potray them to be, so don't worry. What's inside the BAU? How does it operate? Do you get to work on cases to catch a potential serial killer or stop a potentially dangerous person or it's just agents that are qualified enough? Is Quantico a heaven-like college or is it extremly difficult and not many get pass Quantico? How fit are you when you apply to Quantico? Do every agents go out and work on the field or do they to desk jobs? How many cases does the BAU have every year? Are they mostly extremely-distrubing cases? What qualifications do you have to have to apply to Quantico? Is it always exciting and dramatic or is it boring and normal to be in the BAU? Please answer my questions! Please do! #BAU #psychology #fbi #criminal-profiling #criminology #federal-agent #special-agent#law #career-details
