What degrees make sense for someone with ADD? I also have another question.

I'm stuck between a few choices before going to college and my current dilemma is finding something that I can generally enjoy and live to do. But it isn't easy if I essentially dislike repetitive tasks due to ADD. Not to mention I need something that interests me and changes over time. I've been split between 4 majors which are: Criminal Justice, Psychology, Business and Political Science (less so for the other 2 honestly) I just looked into Criminology and the jobs relating to that but Criminologist seems as if it might need Criminology but it also stated on 2 different places Psychology would work to do that. Is this true? Also to make you more aware of my goal, I generally speaking plan to dual degree in Criminal Justice and Psychology.

How did you know you wanted to pursue a career in forensic science?

Hello, I have recently developed an interest in forensics and have decided that that is what I want to do. I am currently getting my associate's in general studies, and once I complete that, I'll focus on the studies required for forensic science. What schools do you suggest I go to? What was your experience throughout university? Also, I would like to interview a forensic scientist for an upcoming assignment.

What are the best fields of law to go into for someone who enjoys politics, but also enjoys studying criminal cases?

However, the idea of defending a criminal does not sit right with me, and having a criminal get out of jail come after me for prosecuting them is also nerve wracking.
