[quote=Anonymous]I have a DC who is in college and working towards an FBI career.  He didn't go in with that intent, but after meeting with a recruiter at a career fair at his school, it became his focus.

There are a lot of different areas of study the FBI and CIA look for.  And you don't have to go to a particular college, my son is at a medium-size private school in the midwest.  Not a Top 25 or anything school.

Definitely check their websites to get an idea of what areas of study they're looking for.  And have your DC keep in mind that the majority of the positions are not super-exciting covert/agent positions that you see on TV.  For example, CIA analysts (different from officers) are sitting in a cubicle day after day, pouring over material that they send up to a supervisor where it's mostly ignored.

#1:  keep a clean record.  No drugs, not even weed which despite being legal in many states, still isn't legal at the Federal level.  Keep social media boring and nothing controversial.
