What is a typical day like for a Special Agent of the FBI?
There is no such thing as a typical day for an FBI Special Agent. Every day is different. One day you could be testifying in federal court, and the next you could be executing a search warrant and gathering evidence. One day you could be meeting with a source to gather intelligence on illegal activities, the next you could be making an arrest, and the next you could be back in the office meeting with your squad and catching up on paperwork. FBI Special Agents are always on call to protect their country; this is definitely not a nine-to-five career. Although the work is challenging and exciting, Special Agents still have the opportunity to spend quality time with their families.
