I've heard you had to be a cop first if you take the criminal justice route. Is that the best route? Are there other career options?

the FBI is weird with who they hire and what requirements you need. However, with a degree in criminal justice and spanish, im sure the border patrol will be licking their chops over someone with your qualifications. The same thing is probably true with the ATF and US Marshals. The best thing to do would be to talk to these organizations and individuals that work in them.

Don't waste your time getting a degree in CJ. The FBI won't want you. Get an accounting, engineereing, law, or other advanced degree. They also love doctors. Be sure that you don't have so much as a whisper of wrong-doing in your past. Any criminal convictions? If so, go and see a lawyer to get those erased (also known as "expunged") from your record. The FBI kind of likes odd-ball people who know a variety of subjects in depth. The idea to them is to be able to have someone "In-house" to study a crime or other issue so they don't have to outsource it.

The FBI likes to hire accountants and attorneys. You do not need to be a police officer first. They don't hire anyone right out of college. Talk to a FBI recruiter and find out what job might get you some useful experience.
