Hi, this may be hard to explain. I want to become good with computers so that I can get into the FBI. I downloaded python and tried it out. I want to know how to actually do stuff useful. Also, is it possible to be a computer wizard in the FBI and still go on the field to make arrest and stuff, or do I have to choose? If anyone could give me advice on computers, how to become good, websites, books, (free) programs, tips, anything!!! I really want to be able to do cool stuff. If i need to expand this more then let me know.... Thanks

I would recommend getting a computer science degree with some kind of technological criminal justice stuff. Learn about computer forensics. Python is not usually a recommended language to begin in. Try something like perl, or if you're feeling courageous, learn C or C++. Learn to use linux along with windows. Familiarize yourself with as much information about how computers work as you can. I would scour the web for as many tutorials as you can find. Google is your best friend.
I'm not really sure about the whole going on the field thing, but I would guess probably not, unless there is some good reason for you to be there. But I guess there are reasonable needs for computer experts on the field.
browse the net for stuff on programming, networking, computer science, and especially computer forensics.
It's just your luck that the FBI really needs people who want to do what you want to do.
Enjoy and good luck!

Go to college and major in either Computer Science or Information Systems coupled with a minor in Administration of Justice. Or you could do it the other way around...major in Administration of Justice and minor in either Information Systems or Computer Science.

Well hacking into any government agency could and in these days would be cause for you to be arrested....and yeah it would be a felony....and jail time?... well now that hacking would have you deemed as a domestic terrorist and now that Obamalamadingdong signed NDAA, you could be held indefinitely without any trial

Well on TVs and media those intelligence agency employ hackers and people got convicted of cyber-crime. And they don't use those nerdy types for field work.
If you are squarely entrenched in Python you have very long way to go.
