What would i need to major in to possibly get a job as a forensic scientist and maybe work for the FBI or CIA?

Question

My cousin works for the CIA, not sure what she does and so does her husband. I'm not sure what he does either except for being licensed to kill people. I'm really into forensic science and criminal investigations and even though im only 13, I'm still already studying law, criminal procedures, and DNA and all that stuff to.

Answer 1

Almost all positions in the FBI are filled by special agents or special agent is a stepping stone to other positions. The suggestions for college degrees before applying to become a special agent are:

Accounting
Computer Science/Information Technology
Language
Law
Diversified

Recently because of all the internet and technological based crimes, the FBI has switched its focus to lots of technological degrees and such. Therefor I would reccomend getting some kind of computer science degree or something similiar with a double major or minor in forensic science. Though if it's truely your passion I would get a forensic science major with my double major or minor in something computer related.

Even though they have their listed preffered degrees no law enforcement agency is going to be picky if you're a highly motivated person, with good credentials, and a passion for law enforcement. Just stay away from drugs and all that other stuff that will get you in trouble your teenage years, and then go to college and keep good grades, and you'll be just fine.

Goodluck!

Answer 2

Keep doing what you are going and make good grades. Do not get in trouble or hang with the wrong people

candidates with emphases in international relations, area studies, economics, math, and science (either behavioral, physical, or computer) are usually in high demand. Take serious, rigorous courses, and perform well in them
