Zahid’s Answer

The FBI has listed on their website what a typical day is like:


"Our agents enforce many different federal laws and perform various roles in the Bureau, so there really is no such thing as a “typical day” for an FBI agent. Agents in our field offices, for example, could be testifying in federal court one day and executing a search warrant and gathering evidence the next.

Over the course of a week, they might meet with a source to gather intelligence on illegal activities; make an arrest; and then, back in the office, talk with their squad members and catch up on paperwork.

Some agents also work in specialized areas across the FBI such as training, fingerprinting, lab services, and public affairs; many also serve as supervisors or managers.

Special agents are always on call to protect their country and may be transferred at any time, based on the needs of the FBI.

This is definitely not a nine-to-five career. Although the work is challenging and exciting, special agents still have the opportunity to spend quality time with their families."

It sounds like you have the right age to be looking in FBI careers! I am not a special agent, but I learn from those jobs that a good day for an FBI agent is working in the case you are investigating in the mornings, and later on to go to court. The FBI has many open avenues for recruitment. Here are some resources for you: https://fbijobs.gov/career-paths/special-agents?gclid=CjwKCAjw6dmSBhBkEiwA_W-EoNlDMo8ucz0kEBIGXQ_I0_nNxn8eQO1PCQ28c-6um6-4Kwk8RM7-xxoCyCIQAvD_BwE
