Is a Criminal Justice Degree worth it?

Is it really hard to find a job with a Criminal Justice degree?

  • I'm majoring in Criminal Justice and I'm going to transfer to 4-year university in Fall 2012. I'm planning a career toward becoming a crime analyst, or any related fields that are administrative jobs, office type jobs, or investigating jobs, other than becoming a police, sheriff, FBI, correction, probation officer, or anything that deals with guns and criminals. I have heard that people are having hard time finding a job with a Criminal Justice degree and it makes worry because that is the only major I want to pursue. I don't know what I should do because I don't want to work for minimum wage jobs for all the work I put through my education. If I take most of my classes for becoming a crime analyst for my Criminal Justice degree, but decided to switch my career as an investigator, can I still find a job in investigative field even though I didn't take any investigative classes, but I have Criminal Justice degree? Also, if I minor in Accounting will that get me a job in accounting field if I can't find a job with Criminal Justice degree?

    You don't just walk into an investigative position in law enforcement. You have to have some practical knowledge of what to do.

Criminal justice qualifies you for very little. Minor in CJ and get a more useful major like accounting, or at least general business. If you just want to work in an office you don't need a 4yr degree; learn MS Office.
