Was all the schooling worth it?

My plan is to get some kind of degree in Psychology. I may even go as far as a PhD I'm still not sure. I want to join the FBI and study criminal behavior. Analyze behavior and predict violent criminal's next moves to catch them.

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 would i have to go about becoming a Police Officer in Chicago?

I'm a 12th grade student from India and i am currently looking into various colleges/universities for admissions. I am planning to migrate to Chicago this year to do an undergraduate criminal justice course. Well since i was a really small kid, i was always engrossed with the term 'police' , i loved interacting with police officers, my eyes were always glued to actual crime scenes, seeing how disputes were settled by the police, watching Crime TV Shows. (I am still glued to those things actually) The sound of police sirens zooming on the roads, the sound of orders coming in on Walkie Talkies, Police Officers dressed in their appealing uniforms always going out there to serve and protect. I became increasingly interested in always stopping and looking at police matters on the streets and looking at how they handle the case. As i grew older i started to love helping people. I get a sense of joy when I can help people and make them smile. My own friends come to me for advice and help in dealing with their issues. I have always known that I wanted a career in an area where I can be a service to others; a direct service to others. Cuffing the bad guys and sending them to jail, protecting and serving my community and society, Finding out new and better ways to make the neighborhood safer, eliminating any terrorist threats, attacks if police are involved and so on, I figured all this was what i always wanted to do with my life. In conclusion.. I would like to ask, What steps would i have to take to achieve my dream of becoming a Police Officer in Chicago, Illinois ? #police #criminal-justice

How Should I narrow down what major I would like to go into when I am not sure what to choose.

I am very interested in psychology and communications. I am good with people and do well in sciences classes so I considered being a nurse. I have always been interested in being a detective or analyst, I am just not sure what jobs I would be able to get if I went into Criminal Justice and psychology. I also want to make a good amount of money, and be able to have kids and still have a job where I prioritized my family and work. #psychology #nursing #criminal-justice #career #sociology

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.
