Are there any career options where I can be a writer or designer and also work in the field of crime and mystery?

I am a freshman in college currently undecided on my career path. I have a wide number of interests so I’m in the process of exploring. My main interests are in interior design and writing. However, I do also loveee mysteries/crime solving. For right now, I just want want to learn how or if it’s possible to combine two of my interests(writing and mystery/crime or design and mystery/crime) together as a career. For instance, I’ve heard about investigative journalism but I am oblivious to anything else writing or design related in the field of criminal work.

Is it hard to become an investigator/detective without previously being a cop? And what majors would be beneficial for pursuing this career?

I know that a lot of investigators are or were police and worked to rank up to that position. I want to go into his field without joining the police. As for majors, I know criminal justice and law are good starts but what about psychology? Other than this career, I would love to go into something do do with psychology and sociology and work to understand and help people. Would this help a career in becoming an investigator?

I’m struggling to get the right answer

I understand that in able to become homicide detective you must become an police officer and then work there for years to get promoted but in some agencies they don’t require it ?? What if you start working as cyber detective and gaining experience, passing the fitness test etc required can that be instead of being a police officer? . Second question Can you work as both homicide detective and cyber detective at the same time if you have the skills to? Third question do you think a homicide detective can work remotely? I’m currently 11th grader and I’m gradation early as 12th grader I’m trying to figure out answers.What advice and suggestions you would give? I hope you can give in details
