I am extremely interested in Criminal Justice and Sociology, but I don't know if I should double major, or if I should get a master's in one area. What's the most logical and cost effective thing to do?
I have a real passion for sociology and criminal justice. I'm not too sure what I want to do career-wise , but I do know that I want to be involved in helping people (especially children) of racial minorities break free from systemic racism. I am extremely passionate about social change and want to work to help fix a justice system that targets and fails socioeconomic minorities. That being said, I have narrowed down the two majors that can help me achieve these goals to sociology and criminal justice. However, I'm not sure what level of degree to pursue. I have been advised to pursue a master's in either subject, but I'm not sure which major is better for my interests. I have also considered double-majoring, but from what I've read I'm not too sure that double majoring is worth it. Any advice on what degree/major I should pursue? Is double majoring really not worth it? If I do double major, will it carry the same value as a master's degree in either area? If I have to choose, how can I know which major is right for me? #criminal-justice #college #sociology #college-major
I want to work in the BAU but I need some guidance
So, I've tried to look up tons of stuff about the different unit, descriptions of stuff they do, etc. I can't seem to find the answers to a lot of my questions though. Fair warning, there are a lot. So to start, which unit deals with the most cases? Which unit deals with the serial killers, unusual crimes, serial kidnappings? Do BAU agents deal/help with the apprehension of criminals? How often, on average, do the agents travel? Does having a major in psychology and a minor in criminal justice along with time in the air force give me a step up into getting into the BAU? What are somethings that the FBI in general looks at when hiring people? What would be the fastest way to get into the BAU? #criminal-justice #psychology #law #BAU #FBI #law-enforcement

What jobs are available within a prison/jail with a Bachelors in Criminal Justice.
I’m currently working towards getting my Bachelors in Criminal Justice. I would like to work in a prison as a correctional case manager. I’m not going to lie, I’m not really sure how much a correctional case manager gets paid. I’ve seen anywhere from 30k-60k here in LA, California. I’m wondering if it’s worth it. Should I look for an other position with the prison? #criminal-justice #criminal-justice #criminology #correctional case manager

How do you gain experience in the legal field as a high school student?
I've been interested in pursuing a career as a lawyer for a while now, but given that it is a fairly expensive and lengthy process, I want to gain exposure to the field to ensure that it is actually something I'm committed to pursuing. I'm especially interested in becoming a public interest lawyer or a litigation lawyer. Most internships available in my area (Houston) are reserved for law students who have completed their first or second year. Any recommendations? I have already contacted the D.A.'s office and the local Bar Association. #law #lawyer #career #internships #criminal-justice #attorney #public-interest-law
