HELP! confused...

[dell704]

I'm currently a sophmore in college and i need to declare my major. i'm in a intro to criminal justice course now and i like it. however, if i major in criminal justice, i'm going to have to take ALOt of cj courses the last 2 years of college now. besides that concern, i also am not looking to go into LE (more of a legal interest), but i think the major overall seems interesting. what should i do??!

I would recommend talking to a counselor at your school and/or family/friends who know you better...

CJ degrees are applicable to the CJ field. Law Enforcement is one aspect of the CJ field, but it also includes court administrators, corrections, probation/parole, juvenile justice, drug counseling, private security, and support positions within all the fields of the CJ system. You don't have to be a "cop" with a CJ degree, that's simply one avenue you can pursue.

Talk to your CJ instructors, find a field that interests you in the CJ field, and do your research.

If, however, you're interested in working in a field outside the CJ system (like Corporate America), I don't know how much a CJ degree will be of benefit to you.

Decide what "YOU" want out of life & career!!!!

Take the classes that interest you, if you take classes that don't you will not like going to them and you will not get good grades in the class.
