[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]

It’s a decent plan but they may end up in the military more than a few years.

There are colleges and universities that offer intelligence related degrees as well. That would help a student get their foot in the FBI door as an analyst.[/quote]

It’s fairly common to get accepted to the FBI academy when you’re late 20s or around 30 - one of my friends did 4 years post college in the Coast Guard, then 2-3 years in an analyst desk job before applying to the academy and being accepted. You do have to have work experience first before applying, they don’t take 21-22 year olds fresh out of college or people without a college degree.

It’s an interesting and fulfilling career, but it’s going to be your life. Being an agent is one of those “the third person in your marriage” type of careers. It’s less dangerous than local law enforcement though. [/quote]
