As an FBI agent/profiler, would you spend a lot of time away from home and family?

I’m a junior in high school and was wanting that as a career but was concerned with not being home with the wife and kids in the future.

I want to join the BAU that's the only job I'm passionate about. Please help

I really want to get into the BAU and I would take the extra mile to get into it. Ever since I started watching Criminal Minds. I wanted to get a job as a profiler. The only problem is that they take US citizens only. I am an Indian and I know that they don't portray the BAU as the way it is. The tv show is an exaggeration and they most probably won't have a boy genius wearing a sweater vest or a diva giving details from the computer about the unsub. But I really don't have any intentions of being a part of a 9/5 job. . Is there any way I could get into the behavioral analysis unit? #criminal-profiling #psychology-education #sociology #swat #behavioral-health

I want to work at the Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI but I have many questions.

Prepare yourself, I'm a talkative and curious kid. I'm interested in psychology, human behavior, criminology, criminal justice, and criminal profiling basically I want to get into the criminal's minds and make a profile about them and help the police catch them. But I already know that it's not as exciting as TV shows like Criminal Minds potray them to be, so don't worry. What's inside the BAU? How does it operate? Do you get to work on cases to catch a potential serial killer or stop a potentially dangerous person or it's just agents that are qualified enough? Is Quantico a heaven-like college or is it extremly difficult and not many get pass Quantico? How fit are you when you apply to Quantico? Do every agents go out and work on the field or do they to desk jobs? How many cases does the BAU have every year? Are they mostly extremely-distrubing cases? What qualifications do you have to have to apply to Quantico? Is it always exciting and dramatic or is it boring and normal to be in the BAU? Please answer my questions! Please do! #BAU #psychology #fbi #criminal-profiling #criminology #federal-agent #special-agent#law #career-details
