FBI hiring special agent with education background

Hiring special agent with education experience

This is has been posted for sometime on USAjobs and I was wondering if the education preference was a serious consideration in today’s special agent applicants. I’m used to seeing nothing but STEM, criminal science, and psychology majors in preferred majors and job fields, so seeing education suddenly is surprising.

I am a 3 year teacher with 4 years experience in the Marine Corps infantry and have a bachelors degree in education.

Being 29 and still in great shape, I would love to apply.
