My daughter has a Masters in Criminal Justice - what opportunities does she have in the job market?

Does she really want to be in criminal justice? If so, she might want to look into the FBI or the State Police.          As for the questions she should be honest but keep her answers short. For example:\nEthnic Diversity - To me it means the rich group of backgrounds that are the foundation of United States culture.\nIf partner came to work smelling like alcohol - I'd talk to my supervisor.\nAs for getting experience, try the private sector for security, investigation, and security planning jobs. They are the way of the future and both the private and public sector often have jobs. If she has solid computer knowledge she could help many places set up their computer security protection programs. Good luck.

well single mom, remember this. Where theres a will theres a way. Do not however, narrow your horizons to just a specific field in sociology. Your degree involves the nature of human beings in all aspects of human interaction and encounter. Thus single mom, use that will power, tenacity and beauty, inside and out, to gather and garner any job that pays the right amount as a start. that will intern lead to another job that you may use as a steppingstone up your personal ladder of success, which in turn will act as a role modeling  push for your daughters future and your own.  Remember this too I have confidence in you.

Well, you do as my daughter is doing, take criminal justice courses. She is going for something different, but at this point, she could work with detectives or be a parole officer, and i can tell you this, my ex sister in law did it, and she got her arsse whipped twice, by females. So go into it with some caution.

If she has the grades there are tons of scholarships and grants available.  (If she doesn't have good enough grades then you can only blame her for not working hard enough.)\n\nWarm up Google and start searching.  There are lots more from private sector than from government.  You just have to find out where they are and apply apply apply apply until you are sick of it and then apply some more.

In most areas the actual min requriements is just a high school education,  but lets talk realistic\n\nBeing a state parole officer is a highly sought after position, most are employed though the state depart of Correction, so about 20 percent of all correctional officers already in the system will be applying for that position,  \n\nI have found that there is about 300 to 400 applications for any one opening ( more in some areas)\n\nSo you will need at least a Bachlelors degree and you can look into social work degree ( often better than criminal justice, since although it is a CJ job, you are considered to be there to "help" them by administration.\n\nNext you may have to get a job as a police officer first while trying for a position.\n\nnext there will be a test, written, only the top scores even get called in for a interview. so beating others on the test is of utmost importance.

This seems to be a sector with a lot of potential.\n\nThere is a pamphlet on the BLS website that goes into detail about the available jobs in the field.

One of the best things you could do would be to contact your local Police Station.  They will be happy to provide you with any scholarships they can find.  I suggest calling to make an appointment with someone in the Department.  They may even have one of their own.\n\nAlso, contact a member of the State Department of Corrections.  With the hightened threats to our nation, I am sure they can help you get into a Criminal Justice course at whatever SMTC became in South Portland.  I studied there for a year and they have a really good program.  Just make sure you like that major first.  I personally hated it, but at least I now understand that police seem like jerks sometimes because that means they will go home alive.

temp agencies is the best way she could find work faster, although they might give you lower per hour rate than regular employee. \n\ntry looking on the classified ads on your local newspaper, there should be somebody hiring that met her credentials.

There is a trick that always works. . .  Get her resumé, fix it up perfectly and send it out to all types of employers and agencies, they will start calling her with offers of new jobs and she may take one of them.  This always works. . .
