hey everyone, im a high school senior, and im heading off to Northwestern University this fall. now that im going off to college, im thinking ahead about what i might want to do in the future. after doing a lot of reading about it, the FBI has become one path im seriously considering. the counterterrorism area of the bureau is the most appealing to me, and HRT would be my ultimate goal if i ever did get into the bureau. a few questions about HRT- how long is an agent allowed to remain in HRT? are the only requirements being in the bureau for 3yrs and passing the physical/whatever else screening test? after HRT where would an agent most likely go within the bureau? could he go to one of the FBI's SWAT teams? could he stay on with HRT as something other than an entry "assaulter"-maybe working with intel or electronics/surveillence?
ive always done very well in school, but i like the sciences more than english. im thinking of majoring in either computer science, or some type of engineering, maybe electrical or chemical. any suggestions as to which would be most beneficial when applying to the FBI? thanks alot for the help, i appreciate it.

I'd honestly like to say outside of not breaking your post into paragraphs (reads easier) ... this has to be one of the more "sound" posts out there.

Good luck to you w/ your future wherever it may lead you.

See my HRT post under DOMNET (that sounds like some sort of kinky S&M forum...Kristen, don't get worked up)

After HRT, you have a few choices. You can promote to a supervisor position at HQ if you are selected. You can compete for a field supervisor position. You can transfer to an FBI field office. You could continue with SWAT work there, or not. My former SWAT Commander was an ex-HRT guy. You can stay at Quantico in a training capacity. Or you can quit the Bureau and teach fat wannabes about speed, surprise, and violence of action.

You could also become a tech agent and learn the in and outs of electronic surveillance.

The world is wide open and the opportunities are endless.
