I have friends from South Africa. They said there is a lot tension there right now and it's quite dangerous. My friends family has held at gun point and she said that whenever there is a red light, a gang of guys come and smash your car window and hold a gun out, telling you to take off your jewelery and give whatever money you have, then they kicked them out of the car and drove off with it. Apparently a lot of fair skinned people are being attacked there right now. Otherwise, from what I have seen, places like Durban, Johanessburg and Cape Town ..look awesome.

Well it depends on what kind of job you want to get in the fbi a secretary maybe yes an fbi agent probably not. It is extremely hard to get a job as an FBI agent being from south africa is gonna hurt your chances but it also may help your chances depending on what kind of job you are trying to get. Also you may want to go to a graduate school in America it will make you resume look better.
2 :
NO - the rule is that to work for a US government agency you must be a US citizen
3 :
No Never will happen
4 :
No, you need to be an US citizen to work for the FBI. But there is bound to be a South African equivalent you can join. Working abroad is much more complicated than working at home.
5 :
FBI requires US citizenship and typically Top secret security clearance.Technically I don't see how it is possible.

How do they teach students in South Africa about Imperialism in South Africa?

they say whites are gods
2 :
The main idea they taught us in the lower grades ( 6-9) is that the "whites were evil/bad". They teach us only out of the perspective of the black people too, so it is more a campaign to keep the youth ignorant and telling us that our forefathers did nothing good, but everything they have now, white people had to plan and build throughout all the hardships(Boer wars, WW1, WW2 and of course the Bush war).

Travel to Mexico, Jump the border into the United States illegally and try to get caught. Once caught, tell the authorities that you are a citizen of Holland. The US will fly you there and probably pay for your college and maybe even your children's and grand children's college too. It's worth a shot.

coming from a black young lady great i assume if your not black

I think the medicine field is pretty good in SA...I wouldn't know coz I'm not in Uni! Living expenses...well, they are fair! A south African would sometimes not agree, but I reckon it would be ok for a foreigner! South Africans love having foreigners in their country...just don't go out on your own and don't act like a tourist...just act normal! Otherwise, SA's really good!
3 :
really good south africans are really well mannered people i love them and miss the friendliness alot
4 :
South Africans really love foreigners. Expenses will be I think allright because of the exchange rate and most unis degrees are internationally regognised so that wont be a problem either. I hope you enjoy SA, in fact you can take me with you and I will look after you there.
