Is a criminal profiler a real job and if so, is it only in the FBI?
I learned about the criminal profiler career and it inspired me to want to become one. Is it a real job? I've gotten mixed responses before so I'm uncertain. If it is real though, is it only a job in the FBI or can I be a criminal profiler outside of the FBI?

Would it be better to go after a high paying career that is difficult to be accepted in to, or go after a career that is easy to be accepted in to, but with bad pay
I am stuck between majors. I want to major in the psychology field and them go into criminal profiling, but I also want to major in art education in secondary schools. The criminal profiling field pays extremely well in most states, but selection for the training and actual job is difficult to get in to. Art education is much easier to get in to job wise (due to the high demand for teachers), but has a lower pay. #criminalprofiling #arteducation #pay #hopeIdontenduphomeless
As a criminal profiler, do you get fulfillment and joy from your job?
I am interested in pursuing a career in criminal profiling, however I know the burnout rates in a job such as this could be high. I have spent a lot of time researching this profession, but I wasn't able to find many answers about the emotional aspect of it. And the little exposure I have had through the media does not go into detail regarding the emotional impact of this profession. I want to know if this job is worth pursuing or is the emotional toll attached to it too great? #criminalprofiling #burnout #criminal-justice #criminology #law-enforcement
