[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4 year college, military for a few years, apply and hopefully get accepted to the FBI academy (or try for an FBI HQ/analyst job and then apply for the academy after a few years in that position). [/quote]

The FBI recruited at my college almost 30 years ago looking for more women.  I don’t know how much has changed but you didn’t have a choice what state you would work in.  They also changed the employee’s job location every two years.  The physical tests were tough.  You had to be really good with a gun.  I bet some of that changed, I know they got more women.[/quote]

That is still mostly true - it’s like the military, you don’t really get a choice which field office you’re assigned to and there are frequent moves, at least at first. And also if you really want to move up and be in charge of a field office later in your career. [/quote]

If the FBI is your student’s goal they need to work as hard as possible to earn an internship with them. That significantly increases your prospects when the time comes to apply after college. Keep in mind that the minimum age of a Special Agent recruit is 23 and they require 2 years of work experience prior to applying.[/quote]
