FBI Special Agents Talk About What It's Like Working For The FBI

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) ability to effectively recruit, develop, and retain a diverse Special Agent workforce is critical to its ability to effectively execute its mission. Every day, FBI employees represent, interact with, and serve communities of all races, nationalities, and ethnicities.
The FBI is hosting this workshop to educate the students attending the Tom Joyner Family Reunion on how their skill sets may have a home in the FBI. Whether their careers begin with our Honors Internship Program or Collegiate Hiring Initiative, employees can have multiple fulfilling careers once in the FBI. The first step is getting in.

Being a law enforcement is a HUGE goal for me, being part of the FBI is a Dream I’m pursing!

Don’t let anyone or anything stop you from getting to that goal.

Me too! I have about 4 more years before I can go to the academy and then become an agent

[@WatchingMyFigures]

You can do it

[@user-ot5wi7cb8n]

Me too I want to be either a CSI or work with the FBI

[@teespruel6831]

I absolutely love this video. I also appreciate the agents explaining the different educational backgrounds you can have when joining the FBI. I did graduate with a Criminal Science Degree back in 2018. However, where I’m located; our city FBI Headquarters requires a bachelors to even join their internship program. I just got back into school for my BA in Criminal Science a few months ago, and I am happy that I made the decision to go back. I’ve wanted to be apart of the FBI since I was six years old, so bettering myself in order to get there is no burden to me. I love school and I love my field. I would recommend anyone who is passionate about helping people from a federal law enforcement standpoint to join the FBI.

[@matthewharwell2408]

Can anyone join tho? I was thinking about it but don’t know if I’m smart enough

[@jesusgonzalez6217]

Love the transparency! This is rare, thank you.

[@ashakabeta]

If you have the skills to do it, I hope you will go for it! And to the agent who said they rarely get a pat on the back for what they do, I want any agent who feels unappreciated to know that I love you all immensely! I am so grateful for you, and wish I could have been an agent. What a fascinating, important organization. Sending so much love!

This is one of those careers that you do it for the love of country, to serve the public, it becomes your life and you will not be wealthy. The past deputy director Deke Deloach was one of my best friends and he embodied a true Great American!!! If you are ok with 24/7 365---it can be one of the most rewarding things you will ever do.

[@CookieMonster13297]

Are you an agent yourself? Because broadstroke describing a career in the Bureau is incredibly ignorant imo. Mileage will vary in any Career but especiallh in the FBI

[@rickybobby4827]

I agree. I would say that there are some good people within the bureau but I would say the culture of the fbi is toxic making most positions frustrating to work in. They have a huge problem retaining and attracting talent, especially within the minority and women community. That is why they have a black woman and 3 black guys in bow ties trying to recruit to an empty conference. It's not what they make it out to be. Read systemic evil by Sam Martinez and you'll see what it's really like.
