Teens Graduating Early ... What will you do next?

There's a few things you can do to get closer to making a position with the FBI a dream come true.

The CJ degree is a good start. You'll want to learn 1-2 additional languages if you're not multidegree already (obviously one of the many arabic dialects would be looked at favorably as well as spanish, but even the less popular languages can be helpful.) You'll also want a few years in your chosen field under your belt, as well (at least 3) and an advanced degree is helpful.

As for FBI internships, they've only got two for which they're currently accepting applications. The first being the National Security Internship (which requires Arabic) and the second is the Visiting Scientists program.

Yeah, I'll probably try to learn another language before I apply, probably Arabic. But I'm pretty stupid with languages (except german which I love love love), so I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that :nopity: But they do have several entrance programs, including language. If you apply under any other entrance program the language is not essential (but helpful).

I agree. Learning Arabic would be a huge selling point for FBI, or really any major government agency today.

I must point out that "FBI Profiler" is not an actual job like it is on TV. Also I'm not sure why you consider a position at the local PD to be a more "real" job than interning at the FBI. If it was me, I would choose FBI over local PD in a heartbeat unless I really wanted to distance myself from the federals for some reason.

lol Yeah I realize that, I do my research I'm interested in profiling for what it is, not for the position :p And believe me, I would take an internship at the FBI over the local PD ANY day. I was talking about real job as opposed to traveling, if that's what I ended up doing.
