Right now im not sure what I want to do with my life, but law enforcement/federal agent would be a possibility. Im wondering....

1. What do I need to do to get into these fields.
2. What kind of control would I have about where I would live if i was federal.

I'd advise you to check with your local law enforcement agency office, different areas have different criteria I think.
AFAIK I do believe at least some law enforcement experience is required.

The FBIhas some pretty stringent requirements as well.

If you join the feds you'll have to make sure you're able to move wherever they need you. This will be anywhere and it will be often. I think they make you move as often as every 2 years. (between 2 and 7 for sure)
