Yes, this seems like a very exciting career. I have always enjoyed figuring out things I didn’t know. If I was an FBI special agent I would be involved in solving all sorts of different crimes. Then it was always fun to watch the FBI shows on television even though the arn't very similar it is still really cool. I would also like the respect that comes with being an agent.
I also believe I deserve this job because I can hold the responsibility and prove myself. I know I will need to work hard but I am more than willing to do whatever is required and then some. So this is what I have always wanted to do and it won’t change.
