I looked around and researched and managed to find a GS-14 position that was perfect for me.

4 year degree

fbi will take a 4 yr degree in anything, so will the cia, they have many places you can work. foreign languages are good, experience in law enforcement is a plus,,,,,,

what are you lookin to do?

Special Agent. My question is, however, would it be more wise to take molecular Biology or Accounting? Could I still be a Special Agent if I had a PhD in Molecular Biology?

Yes. I know one person at the CIA with an advanced degree in biology.

Although you'd find better employment at the CDC.

Woul they put you into a field agent job? Doubtful. Chances are a PhD in mol. bio would earn you a desk job churning out loads of hypothesis re: displacement of molecules in water reserves or some other interesting yet not exciting topics.

mental note:

do not discuss anything illegal with FreeballinDC

So would you say that an accounting degree would serve me better? Also, what's CDC?

CDC = Center for Disease Control and Prevention

No degree is really better than another, but in terms of putting your advanced degree to use (unless you like wasting tons of cash) getting a PhD in mol. bio and joining the FBI as a grunt would be tragic.

I suggest you get a degree in something you enjoy, even the arts (if you enjoy that). There are tons of jobs for artists in the FBI and CIA.
