I am currently a psychological science and criminology major at the University of California, Irvine. My dream career is a Special Agent who "profiles" a criminal and their behavior in order to understand the criminals. I am aware that in order to be considered for this job, one must first become a Special Agent under the FBI. However, I am still unclear of the direct steps necessary to achieve this goal. It would be amazing if anyone could even point me in the right direction! #criminal-justice #career #law #psychology #forensic-psychology #criminal-profiler #FBI
