I am currently a senior in undergrad and I plan on going into graduate school for a forensic psych MA. My dream job is become a behavioral analyst for the FBI and work with analyzing crime scenes and patterns, studying offender behavior across cases, and creating behavioral profiles. I understand you need to become an special agent first, but I am curious on if 1. getting the MA will actually help me 2. would potentially getting a PHD or a PsyD be even more helpful and lastly, does FBI training force you to away from family for the duration?

For professionals in law enforcement: What helped you sustain long-term commitment to such a demanding field? Were there any moments when you seriously considered pivoting to a different industry, and if so, what factors influenced your decision to stay or transition?
I’m a high school senior determined to pursue a career in federal law enforcement. I’ve explored other paths, including corporate experiences with PepsiCo and a film production company, but realized law enforcement truly aligns with my interests and focus areas. I’m currently interning with the Dallas Police Department, where shadowing detectives and sergeants has given me a real look at the dedication and time the field demands. Seeing this firsthand has shown me that reaching the federal level, like the FBI, will take resilience, focus, and a long-term commitment—but it’s a challenge I’m ready to take on.
What is the day in the life of a Criminologist?
I am really interested in hearing what exactly the tasks are a criminologist would be doing on a daily basis.
As a senior, is it beneficial for me to continue doing something that pays more or would it be better to do something I like?
Since I got onto this platform I realized that I would want my career to be focused more on the human behavior aspect of law enforcement or forensics.

Going into college and the work life, would it be better for me overall to go into that interest even if I may not be able to live off that job?
