Good Info
FBI requires either a law degree or accounting degree to work as a S/A.
DEA, ATF rarely hire straight from college. Every agent I know spent at least several years with a State agency. Look at "Regional" drug task forces.
Customs is kinda fucked up right now. You probably are interested in interdiction work and again, they rarely, if ever hire straight from college.
Secret Service, I have no idea. Never delt with them.
CIA - they are more interested in people with language and technical training, engineering, chimistry and the like. they really don't give a shit about law enforcement training.
US Marshall, I'm not sure what they require but they a really just Federal Sheriff's Deputies.
A number of other Federal agencies have small unknown law enforcement divisions (USDA, FDA, FAA, and the like) some of them may hire straight from college then you could make a lateral transfer to another agency.
I think I would rather work for a State agency like a Department of Public Safety or a lage city department. They do the real work and, IMHO, have a shit load more fun than the beuracratic FEDS.
Good luck
