Hey, I'm wondering if someone knows anyone working for any particular federal agancies and what type of college degree is necessary in order to help you land one of these jobs?

The reason why I'm asking this is because as you can tell, I'm interested in that field of work and will be enrolling in college next fall, but need some help with choosing a good major that would qualify me for a federal job. Thanks a lot and I appreciate all the responses.

Big Mike,

You didn't go to SHU did you?

I used to date a girl who's parent were in an organization. It is a very "know somebody" type of job. Good luck and start your public relations journey.

Thanks but I already checked these sites and they don't mention anything except a degree in sciences.

I have friends in the FBI and worked close with some people from the CIA.

The FBI require a four year degree OR fluency in a foriegn language. Right now, Arabic languages will get you a job real quick.

The FBI isnt specific about types of degrees, although it must apply to your intended field of interest with the FBI. There are many aspects of law enforcement at the FBI, so poke around their website and get a feel for what interests you.

The CIA is not specific either, and in fact they do not require a four year degree for non-field positions. Experience will land you a job, but sounds like you don't have much experience to put on a resume.


Just wondering, why didn't you just go to www.cia.gov and www.fbi.gov?

Im planning on applying for the FBI in about 3 years...I am finishing up my Bachelors in Criminal Justice in a few months.

If you want a pretty much guaretneed job...get an accounting degree...their white-collar crime division is huge and always looking for people skilled in that area.

Do you have any military or law enforcement experience.

Because they get a MILLION CJ's grads each year applying. And you need something to cull you from the fat, like actual experience.

Im 21 now...not planning on applying until I am 25. During that time I am going to do regular law enforcement.

I have been thinking about the marines once I graduate, but have not decided yet.

Don't go marines unless you want to walk away with no applicable skills in the real world. I'd suggest national guard, while in school and then taking the POST exam.

Going in with POST will look good and the guard time will help a lot too.
