Have you thought about the adrenaline rush and positive high
that a police officer gets when he has arrested a suspected criminal or pulled
over the speed demon who could have killed a family traveling on their summer vacation?
What about the correctional officer who has saved an inmate’s life by finding
the suicide note or shank under the inmate’s pillow? This could be you!
There are several careers you can pursue with a criminal
justice degree which include law enforcement, correctional officer, or even
lawyer or judge, if you decide to pursue your law degree after obtaining a
Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. Most often careers like those mentioned
above come to mind when you think about someone who is pursuing or holds a criminal
justice degree. However, there are several other areas that may be of interest
such as park ranger, security guard, probation/parole officer, private
investigator, coroner, and the list goes on.
Take a look at the following two web resources. They both
house good information on the different career paths in criminal justice and an
overview of the salaries associated with each career. Think about your interests and where you would
fit on the criminal justice career spectrum. Good luck with your current and/or
future criminal justice career hunting!
