Thank you. I'm porsuing it because the University of California online wants students to have obtained a Degree prior joining their University.
Whaat😭
A teacher!?!? Please further explain! I graduate in the fall and start 4 yr college in criminal Justice next spring! Btw your voice is so soothing thank you!
Hi Fela, I am happy to! The first goal is to always understand what you are going to be studying for 4 years if an undergrad or for 6/7 years for upto the Phd. For example in a nutshell Criminal justice degrees allow students to study and explore topics relating to the various aspects of the criminal justice system. Students pursuing a degree in this field learn about law enforcement, criminal behavior, the American court system, and behavior and psychology. As you can see there is a vast array of options that the degree prepares you for in you were to seek a specialization.
If you pursued this degree on the undergraduate level with a minor in education OR pursued a degree in Education with a Minor in criminal justice and met the content assessment requirements as you searched for Teaching positions, then you could pursue this degree. This is one of the values of a liberal arts education. The transferable skillets across multiple sectors.
Thank you. I majored in Criminal Justice and I’ve been a court clerk for almost 12 years and a temporary law clerk for a Judge for 6 months. Looking for something else to do.
Your welcome
How did you got started as a court clerk?
@@nekoplanetary4244 I went to school for criminal justice but there are people there that have degrees in other areas or even just a high school diploma. Just go to the courthouse, clerk of court office and fill out an application. The job is usually on the job training.
My younger cousin wants to major in criminal Justice. I sent this video to her
That's great! Thanks for watching.
I have a BA in criminal justice.I love the study’s so much.
@@prominentprominent2546 Glad you enjoy it. It is a great degree with multiple career options.
@@majortocareer sure thanks. Thinking to move to my next step.
I just received my Master in Criminology with an emphasis in Homeland Security after 20 yearsin theArmy. Now im retired, finally. What's out there for me and what avenues are available for me to pursue? Could you give me some good advice and guidance.
Hi Larry, congratulations on your retirement! My first indication without speaking to you directly is that you have had amazing experiences and a long career. At first glance, am thinking returning to the workforce at entry level with much younger colleagues may not be as palatable.
That said, have you thought about pursuing a career where you are mentoring or educating others with your vast experiences? At first glance I would suggest looking for those types of roles. You have a master's degree so an thinking working at an ROTC dept. At a college, serving as a college instructor etc....hope that helps shed light on some options...
As always you can schedule a consult for a few and I can look into your case further....
None, it's a crap degree.
What are some steps I can take out of college toward forensic science careers
connect with your school career counselor for guidance. Make sure to attend the job fairs
Hi I’m Soni!
Mam I am criminology student i. Completed my study in forensic science please advice me job jermany
Update
Is detective work possible with criminal justice major? Does this degree help me with that?
Yes, this degree can help with a job as a detective.
Before being a detective you will have to be an actual street cop. And you can’t learn to be a good detective in school… you gain that from real life investigations and repetition
@@DallasJack1 so with a degree or not i’ll have to be a street cop before?
@@alliedepuydt6648 yes. You have to get promoted from police officer to detective or take the test. But yeah either way you have to be an officer before
Maybe look into being a private investigator!
I need a bachelor degree in criminal justice.
I have one on my wall. It's more useless than a degree in photography.
@@thomasryan2679 so why did you get it
