This could be either a great time to be an FBI agent - or the worst time.
Imagine becoming a fed because you want to uphold the law and chase down bad guys, figuring you're going to be tracking down drug dealers and human traffickers and mafia goons, and instead you get tasked with running down Karen and Cletus who decided to firebomb a house based on something they read on RealTruthPatriotNewsDaily-dot-net.
Imagine the briefings with everyone just sitting there with their heads buried in their hands
Just heavy sighing, the sound of liquor being poured into a glass at 9am and every so often, a truly exasperated "fuuuuuuuuuck!"
The FBI agents I feel for are the ones that have to go on sites like 4chan or whatever other social media sites the rightwing thinks is safe.
F4 Not a crime, not a crime, not a crime, not a crime
F4 Not a crime, not a crime, not a crime, not a crime
F4 Not a crime, not a crime, not a crime, not a crime
F4 Not a crime, not a crime, not a crime, not a crime
F4 Not a crime, not a crime, not a crime, not a crime
F4 Wait! Ok never mind. Not a crime...

A guy I work with has a masters in engineering degree, graduated with honors, went to a school that is world known for engineer was telling me how he spent two days sorting out the parts numbering scheme in the database. He has to do it twice because upper management changed their mind after he finished the first time.
Your dreams and mileage may vary.
I mean, if your masters in the database engineering... Kinda goes with the territory...
Mechanical. Also WTF how is that a degree? Who in their goddamn mind would study this!?
