FBI Agents are law enforcement agents that specialize in investigation of criminal activity. **FBI Agents investigate organized crime, public corruption, financial crimes, bank robbery, kidnapping, terrorism, espionage, drug trafficking and cybercrimes**. FBI Agents go undercover within organized crime, for example they will pose as a Mafia member to be a witness to illegal activity and record what Mafia members have said and done in terms of illegal activity. FBI Agents with respect to cybercrimes may pose as a child molester on line, in efforts of catching such criminals. FBI Agents also go undercover with respect to drug trafficking, whether by the US border or undercover in the streets by having a stake-out to catch drug dealers.

[|Level of Education:] First of all, in order to become an **FBI Agent you need to be a US citizen. You must be a High School graduate and also a College graduate. You also need to pass the Civil Servant/State exam. This will take me 4 years of HS and 4 years of college with about 3 months of studying for the Civil Servant/State exam. You also need to have a clean criminal record.**

Salary: Under the National Salary Database, **FBI Agents have a salary range of $41,064 - $133,969 as of 2011.

High School:
 * What I must do in H.S. is to make sure that I graduate and do not get into any trouble, as I need a clean criminal record, which I have. In order to graduate I need to earn 60 credits in H.S. and pass the Regents exams to graduate**.

College: There is no licensing, **other than I need a license to carry a gun, but I think that FBI Agents, after passing the Civil Servant/State exam, get FBI training on how to shoot a gun, how to be responsible with a gun, and how to defend myself in a situatio**n. But in order to get **to FBI training, I need to graduate College with a Bachelor’s degree. I would specialize in a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice to understand and be prepared for an FBI Agent role.**
