If you get a law degree, do you have to be a lawyer to join the FBI?

I'm 16 years old, sophomore in high school, and before recently, I've wanted to be an actor. I've had acting training, but its not felt right to become an actor. I love my country, U.S.A, and I am interested in criminal justice and law enforcement. I want to do a federal law enforcement job (CIA, DEA, Secret Service, U.S Marshal, etc...) but I mainly want to get into the FBI and do criminal investigative work at a high level, maybe do undercover work, but mainly detective work. I've read several questions on Yahoo Answers and read the website of the FBI, but I'm a little confused. I want to start getting ready for a college I can get a degree in and hopefully join FBI or another law enforcement agency. I'm currently enrolled in JROTC at my school and I am a part of the Mock Trial at my school. My main question is, if I got a law degree (like they FBI says they want) do I need to work as as an attorney or lawyer in that field for 3 years (as the website says you need to have a 3 year work experience) to join the FBI? I know that you can get a criminal justice degree, which I'm willing to do, too, but from what I've read, that's almost cliche and overdone. I really want to do something in law enforcement at a federal level, because I want to help others and keep my country safe. I'm outgoing and trustworthy, with a GPA of 4.0, and no criminal background. And I want to know what I need to do to find the best way to join one of these prestigious agencies. Thank you.

1. If you want to practice law consider the AG's Office. FBI...consider languages and technical degrees from accounting to chemistry.

3. From what ive heard from my instructors in college the fbi is actually looking for people with degrees in computers. this is due to the large increase in identity theft and computer crimes
