I have a CJ degree also. Right after college I worked at the pardons and paroles office. It's a good job for someone right out of college.

Well, it would depend on the felony and what type of 'good' job.  Depending on the circumstances you should be able to.

I took the political science path, it helps you get into the debating mind set.  You have to be able to develop and support your ideas in law school which is what political science courses allow you to do.  The only reason you would want to deal with criminal justice is if you are wanting to be involved in the criminal justice system which I would not recommend.  Do political science and take elective courses that are geared towards the area of law you are interested in (business, corporate, real estate, contract...whatever)  You need to learn how those systems operate also in order to completely understand the whole system and not just the law side of it....then again I am an over-achiever so it really just depends on how good of a lawyer you want to be.

You have to have a 4 year degree because not only do you have to be expereinced in computer science, but you have to be familiar with criminal justice practices as well. Sorry, you're stuck having to get a 4 year degree.

first of all you need to do college courses in criminology, psychology, possibly forensic studies. Your salary will depend on who you were with, e.g. correctional services, government, private. You need experince and liscensure  before you can call youself a criminolgst.

I can't speak for anyone else.  I have entered a career in criminal Justice for the 2nd time.  I have enjoyed the interaction with people and making my community a better place to live.

I had that same question, so I started to do some research and stumbled upon the page I listed as source. A Criminal Justice professor made it. There is a list of all the good Graduate CJ programs in the country listed by state. He handpicked all those schools. He also writes about the ins and outs of graduate education in criminal justice. Check it out, I found it to be really helpful. \n\nPS: It seems like the page is down right now (it happens form time to time) but check it out sometime later today or tomorrow and it shoud be up.

First you want to go to a college for your two year degree in Criminal Justice then onto a University for your 4 year degree in Criminal Justice. Then from there you will want to apply for the FBI school in the East. There is a couple of them. I am currently studying to go into that area of Law. Right now I am going to a college then I will be going into the Navy to take The Judge Advocate General program the Navy Offers. THat is another great place to start if you want to go into Law.. I wish you the best!!

I think you just have to have a Bachelor's Degree(4-year) from college, and it can be from any subject, but I would recommend criminal justice. There will be  extensive background checks and psychological testing, and some sort of physical fitness requirements.

health professions would probably not be good since they are governed by strict boards.Sorry you have to worry about that you did the time for the crime and you shouldn't have to pay for it the rest of your life.Don't get discouraged.You can make it. Good Luck

Sociology is a great option! \n\nAny undergrad degree in the arts and letters is good choice if she wants a graduate degree in Criminology.\n\nAs for careers, she can work as a counselor in a correctional facility or a state hospital. She can work as a counselor for a county agency. She can work for the government, be it local, state or federal.

My son is becoming a policeman.  While college is not required (you can just go to the police academy), he has decided to do the college route.  He is taking the 2 year Criminal Justice program (graduates May 2007) and will then enter the police academy with an associate's degree.  He plans to return to college part time to continue on for his bachelor's degree once he is working.\n\nHe considered the service but has a pin in his foot so is not eligible to enlist.
