[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is going to NOVA for 2 years with a plan to transfer to an in-state school (her goal is UVA or William and Mary.) She is interested in becoming an FBI agent and asked our relative who works in law enforcement for advice on a good college major and other tips. Our relative didn't have many tips because he's a detective in a small town, but did say that he doesn't recommend majoring in Criminal Justice. His recommendation is to major in Accounting. Daughter really isn't that interested in Accounting and preference is to major in Political Science or History based on her interests.

For those of you that work for the FBI, or have spouses that do, do you have advice for a young person on how to prepare for an FBI career?

What college major(s) do you recommend? What sort of jobs and/or internships should she be pursuing? Are there specific colleges/universities (within VA and/or affordable) she should think about transferring to that would enhance her prospects for getting hired?

She assures me that she won't do it, but what happens if during the college years, she decides to experiment with the substance that was recently legalized in Colorado, or has friends that do and she is around it?

Finally, does the FBI accept people who have a diagnosis of ADHD, or take medication for ADHD (as we understand it, the military does not)?

Thanks in advance for any advice.[/quote]
