What aspects of a detective career might persuade me to pursue that route over becoming a criminal lawyer?

I am interested in being a detective more, I just really do not want to be a cop first, and have heard mixed things about this route. I am aware they both require way different schooling, I just don't know anyone personally with experience to ask about this.

In a world full of natural beauty and endless human creativity, it doesn’t make sense to judge students just by grades. A test score doesn’t show someone’s imagination, kindness, or how hard they try when no one’s looking. Real success isn’t something you can measure with numbers. Like a tree...
