what qualifications are normally required for criminal profiling?

Usually people involved in Criminal Profiling have years and years of
police work behind them as well as a very long period of detective
work. My last semester of my Criminal Justice degree an FBI Criminal
Profiler told us that there are no open jobs in Criminal Profiling for
people just out of college. Its just like being a detective, you have
to become a cop first then?. On and on?..
