ATF RARELY HIRES AND WHEN THEY DO THE POSTING IS FOR LIKE 1 WEEK. LIKE MYSELF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE A STREET COP. TRY GOING TO ALL THE DIFFERENT STATES WEB PAGES AND THE TO THE DEP OF PUBLIC SAFETY INSIDE. MANY STATES HAVE BUREAU OF CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS. THERE REALLY ARE SO MANY OPTIONS AT LEAST HERE IN NEVADA. YOU CAN WORK FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AS AN INVETIGATOR, THE NEVADA DIVISION OF INVESTIGATION, GAMING CONTROL SPECIAL AGENT AND MANY MORE.
FEDERAL LEVEL HAS CUSTOM INVESTIGATORS AND SO MUCH. WWW.DOJ.COM GO THROUGH EACH AGENCY AND CHECK IT OUT.
BIG THING IS TRY TO GET AN INTERNSHIP WITH THE AGENCY YOU WANT TO WORK FOR. SERIOUSLY STATE LEVEL IS EASIER TO GET FIRST THEN WITH 2 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE UNDER YOUR BELT GO FEDERAL IF YOU SO DESIRE.

OK, that anwered some of my questions. At what age would I start trying to do an intership? Is there stuff that I could do now while I am in college to try and get involved? You have to be 23 to apply for the FBI. So I would have a better chance of getting choosen for the FBI if I had experience with some local or state agency? What do you do in Nevada? Also, what type of degree can you recommend other than a language and accounting? What type would be good for going into the CIA or DEA? Thanks for the help. Iron
OK MORE ANSWERS ON ALL THESE QUESTOINS GET A BOOK CALLED GUIDE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT CAREERS BY DONALD HUTTON. IT EXPLAINS REQUIREMENTS FOR MOST JOBS OUT THERE.
CIA DEGREE HMMMM POLITICAL SCIENCE WITH EMPHASIS ON MILITARY BUT THIS JOB IS HARD AS HELL TO GET ND YOU WILL ONLY BE DOING PAPERWORK UNLESS YOU ARE CHOSEN LUCKILY AS A CLANDESTINE AGENT AND THEN YOU HAVE TO DISAPEAR OVERSEES AND HAVE NO CONTACT OVER HERE. MIGHT BE FUN THOUGH. DEA WILL EASILY ACCEPT CRIMINAL JUSTICE. I WOULD DOUBLE MAJOR IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND POLITICAL SCIENCE OR CRIM AND COMPUTER SCIENCE AS SO MUCH CRIME IS BEING DONE ON COMPUTERS THESE DAYS. INTERNSHIPS ARE USUALLY THOUGH YOUR SCHOOL FOR CREDIT YOU JUNIOR OR SENIOR YEAR IF YOU MAJOR IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE. OTHERWISE JUST GO AROUND TO DIFFERENT AGENCIES AND TELL THEM YOU ARE LOOKING TO VOLUNTEER AND GAIN EPERIENCE IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE FIELD. OK I HAVE TO GO GET READY TO GO DO SOME SURVEILLANCE AT THE LOW RIDER SHOW OUT HERE IN VEGAS. I'LL CHECK THIS WHEN I GET BACK.
2 books I got have all you need to know, ordered via amazon;
John Douglas's Guide to careers in the FBI
Guide to careers in federal law enforcement
Having the first book is a must! it goes over everything including ways to make your application more noticed ect... the second one is good for finding other jobs related to law enforcement, incase fbi dont work out or you need some more backround work.

Ok, I am going to go out and get that book. Do you know anything about Border Patrol and drug trafficing enforcement? Does the DEA come into that? I think that I will be taking more political science and criminal justice classes. I will also be taking sociology, psychology, comp networking, and spanish(I am almost fluent in spanish, so that will obviously help me) I think that answered most of my questions. So what do you do? What are you doing surveillance at a low rider show if you don't mind me asking. Thanks again for the help. Iron

Great, thanks for the info Anabolik! I am off to Barnes and Noble's right now to try and find those 2 books. Why did you order these books? Are you interested in FBI also? Peace, Iron
I ordered these because it am interested, more so last year, about this kind of stuff..nothing I am going to pursue full time right now, but its definatly an interesting line of work.
BORDER PATROL U WEAR A UNIFORM SIT IN THE DESERT, CHECK ID'S NOT THE MOST GLORIOUS JOB BUT NEEDED ALSO I HEAR IT IS THE HARDEST TRAINING PHYSICAL WISE IN THE FED SYSTEM.
MY JOB INVOLVES MANY TASKS I'LL TELL YOU IF YOU PM ME BUT NOT ON HERE. DEA I BELIEVE HAS JOINT EFFORT WITH BORDER PATROL ON THIS AREA.
