My Observations:
Becoming an FBI: Special Agent could be a very complicated and difficult thing. Joining the FBI isn't as simple as many people would assume for it to be. In order to even considered as a possible agent you will have to go through steps. Some of the steps would be getting a full background check, passing the physical test, and having the majors and skills needed. Many other jobs require you to have certain skills but as an FBI: Special Agent you are expected to know how to use your skills very well. Some of the skills consist of analyzing and critical thinking. I know that I may not yet be prepared but I know that once I get the training, educations, and skills needed I will be able to do the best I can do. I am still not even close to the age requirement but once I get there I will be able to apply and demonstrate that all the dedication and work I have put forward will help me be an FBI: Special Agent.
