Question: Is a degree in criminal justice helpful in getting hired by the FBI, or would another major be more appealing? 

Answer: For me, it was.  The FBI and CIA obtain most of their agents through school recruiting.  That is how I began my career with the FBI.  That was 9 years ago.  I interned with them.  After college, I was hired and got into their agent training program.  I have been an FBI agent for the last 7 years.
