I have been looking into getting a Criminal Justice degree. Just a couple of minutes ago, I was looking at a couple of different sites with job opportunities posted, but the problem is that a bachelors degree isn’t going to provide me with 3 years work experience to make me eligible for even the lowest paying positions (police). How is one supposed to get the work experience needed for say an entry level detective job? I saw the FBI offers summer internships for full-time students, but that isn’t 3 years and I’m not keen on the idea of doing that internship for 12 years while I take every course the school has to offer! Neither do I think that would sit well with the FBI. So, what are we supposed to do? I would like to know what I’d need to do now before I invest anything. Obviously, there is experience to be found somewhere. I live in Indy.
Well, if *advanced* jobs pay less than 25 thousand anually, then that’s what I saw. That kind of money is not enough for me to even think about going back to school. I almost make that now working at the warehouse with high school drop-outs and people that don’t even speak English!
I’m 27. Not real young but not old.
