Sorry but 75% of an FBI agent's job is paperwork. Same thing for Border Patrol and regular police.

Becoming an FBI Special Agent is a very competitive process. Below are some minimum requirements to become an FBI Special Agent.
You must be a U.S. citizen or a citizen of the Northern Mariana Islands. You must be at least 23 years of age, but younger than 37 upon your appointment as a Special Agent. Age waivers may be granted to preference eligible veterans who have surpassed their 37th birthday. You must possess a four-year degree from a college or university accredited by one of the regional or national institutional associations recognized by the United States Secretary of Education. You must have at least three years of professional work experience. You must also possess a valid driver's license and be completely available for assignment anywhere in the FBI's jurisdiction.
Any degrees that develop research and analytical skills are desirable educational backgrounds for FBI Special Agent candidates. If you don't have a college degree yet, consider choosing accounting, computer science, a foreign language that the FBI considers critical, or law as your college major. Whatever major you choose, make the most of your time and money. Choose a school that is properly accredited, get the highest grade point average that you can, participate in a couple extracurricular activities, get a good internship, and do some regular volunteer work. Consider getting an advanced degree. Getting law enforcement officer jobs is becoming more and more competitive. Do whatever you can to make yourself the best candidate that you can. For example, don't do anything illegal, maintain a good reputation, keep a good driving record, don't get bad credit, improve all of your communication skills as much as possible, and become as physically fit as you can. Becoming an FBI Special Agent is a great goal. However, many federal agencies have criminal investigators or special agents. Consider the FBI and other agencies too.

Becoming an FBI agent is tough. You must have a college degree and be able to obtain a security clearance. The training is about 6 months long and is very intense.

Buy a cap that says FBI, and a 357, and probably get a badge and ID card at Walmart, that should do it. Now chase those criminals!

Go to the FBI website. Follow the Employment link. You can download an application and the site will tell you what the requirements are. There is a lot of physical training required, as well as classroom training.

Get a decent university degree, if you want to get a chance to earn US$ 35'000 grand a year to start with I guess!!!
Obviously a lawyer would make the same amount in one day!
