Shane’s Answer

Hi Samantha - it's important to know that what you see on tv isn't the same as the real life every day in any of the jobs you see. The job of a scriptwriter is to make engaging, enjoyable TV. The drama and effects needed to make a tv episode move forward don't always exist in our normal life.

As you study, find the subjects you like that are interesting - where you're exited to learn more. Look online for more information about different career choices. Law enforcement is an admirable profession and you *may* be very happy there - but you may want to be a forensic scientist, or an accountant working with the FBI or local law enforcement as your way to contribute.

Andy’s Answer

I have always wanted to have a job within the law enforcement/public safety arena, so when I graduated high school I already knew that was the direction I was going to go in. I have been in law enforcement for the past 16 years and havent worked a day of it because I love what I do. The goal is to find what it is that interests you and find a career doing it.

That is wonderful you want to be an FBI agent, but just know not everything Criminal Minds or any of those shows on tv show is real. However if you want to get in first off you must go to college and get a 4 year degree in something other than criminal justice. Secondly, you must also make sure you are in top physical fitness shape as the FBI entrance process and academy is extremely rigorous. My recommendation is to start as a local law enforcement officer and serve as a local detective for a bit before applying to the FBI.
