How do I become an fbi agent?
i'm currently a criminal justice major in college and am looking into the FBI or GBI. i understand they do background checks for these types of jobs. i got a misdemeanor citation for underage possession of alcohol when i was 19, paid my fines, and served probation. would something like this prevent me from getting in to the FBI or GBI? other than that i have 2 speeding tickets, but have never been arrested or anything like that. any help is appreciated!

I'm not sure what state you have to wait 5 years to have your record expunged but where I'm from, it's only a year. Go to your local municipal court and get the proper paper work and pay the fee and within a few months, it'll be cleared. I'm not sure about going directly into the FBI but I know that you'd have a better chance if you have military or police experience first. Even if you get a part time or some type of community service job through your local police department, it will look good on your resume. Plus the more involvement you have with local law enforcement, the more chances you'll have with making friends with someone who may have the right connections to get you in. Hope this helps and good luck.

I'm not very familiar with exactly HOW to become an FBI agent but you seem to be on the right track with criminal justice. However, To answer part of your question...
If you received a misdemeanor charge at the age of 19, In some cases they will make an exception to getting a record expunged. Most expunges all depend on how severe the charges and how recent it was. You normally would have to wait at least 5 years for the judges approval...Will it effect you becoming an FBI agent well it shouldn't as long as you wait until your 5 years and expunge it, Nothing looks good on a record.
