Federal Bureau of Investigations The Federal Bureau of Investigations has been a key job in the US since about 1908. Attorney General Charles Bonaparte created the FBI during the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. â€Å"Created as the Bureau of Investigation, it originally conducted investigations only for the Justice Dept† (Unknown 1). â€Å"One year later, the Office of the Chief Examiner was renamed the Bureau of Investigation, and in 1935 it became the Federal Bureau of Investigation.† (History 1) The number of FBI jobs in the US is increasing; about 800,000 jobs are available now. Prospects in the next 10 years are projected to increase 7% by 2020. The rank structure for field agents looks like this; New Agent Trainee (until graduation from Quantico), Special Agent, Senior Resident Agent (non-supervisory, in a Resident Agency (satellite office)), Supervisory Senior Resident Agent (only applies in Resident Agency offices), Supervisory Special Agent, Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge (ASAC), Special Agent-in-Charge.

You must be at least 23 years of age to apply and have not reached 37 years of age upon your appointment as a Special Agent. Age waivers may be granted to preference eligible veterans who have surpassed their 37th birthday. You must possess a four-year degree from a college or univers... ..., traumatic experiences, your family life, and the ridiculous applying process. FBI special agents are asked to move and relocate to where the Federal Bureau of Investigations needs you most which could be the other side of the United States. Overall I think it evens itself out and I don’t mind the disadvantages. In the FBI, if you have a foreign language you can speech you are very important to them. That is a huge advantage to have, for example a situation that involves terrorism. Also FBI special agents that have foreign speaking skills have a higher salary. Working for the Federal Bureau of Investigations would be an interesting job to go to everyday. Employees of the FBI have many benefits with many disadvantages. The FBI is a very important job to the United States of America and we’d like to thank all the employees for fighting for our country every day.
