Is criminal justice something wise to go into?

<p>Honestly, with less than two weeks to go to high school graduation, I am still shuffling what I want to pursue. I have focus on two particular fields: criminal justice-related and computers-related. I have done some research and it seems like a major in computer science is the best major to pursue because of how many jobs will open up due to the fact that technology is changing and everyone needs a person who's computer savvy. </p>

<p>But I'm thinking about sticking to my heart and is being involved in the legal and law field. The problem is that the jobs that I could get with a criminal justice degree are the same with what I can do with a standard high school diploma. From what I've read, a BSCJ is one of the worse bachelor's you can pursue due to this fact. One thing that I have thought about is going into Mass Communications but I haven't done my research in this field yet. </p>

<p>I'm really not going after the money but rather what I see myself enjoying to do. As much as I have studied and worked with computers, writing software programs just isn't something that I see myself doing 30 years from now. Another thing I want is job security. I don't want to be running back and forth for weeks and months looking for a job when I have student loans to pay back.</p>

<p>As said before, my high school graduation is right around the corner. I'm in no rush to go into college but I'll liked to go as soon as possible.</p>

<p>My advise would be to wait untill you get to college befor you decide. Take a few classes. Most people change their mind at least three times. You may be surprised at how different subjects in college are than high school.</p>

<p>I’d look into Telecommunications/Journalism. Criminal Justice is good if you might want to be a cop, but otherwise I’d look for something else.</p>
