And see, there is where we have a problem, I don't know what I want to be. I have been thinking about majoring in Crimminal Justice, you know be a cop. All things considered, that would be a really good job for me, and UNO (the college I'm almost deffenitaly going to) has a nationally aclaimed Crimminal Justice program.
But, I have more of an interest in Philosophy, and so on. So, I kinda thought that maybe I should study what interests me. I just don't know what I could do with a degree in Philosophy! I mentioned this to mom, and she said I could be a teacher, she cann't imagine me as a teacher of a bunch of high schoolers, or little kids. I don't find the pay apealing either! Politicians tend to tick me off, and I already said I don't want to be a starving artist, so now I'm screwed!
A degree in Philosophy, Political Science, or Theology will get your foot in the door if the job requirements read "a bachelor's degree." They won't mean anything if the requirements are "a bachelor's degree in..."
Lots of people end up in fields with no relation to their major, especially their undergrad majors. A large part of the function of the undergrad degree is simply to teach you how to learn; any degree shows (in theory) that you've done learned this. A few, typically technical, fields prepare you for entry level work in the field at the undergraduate level.
Now... you said you thought you might want to be a cop. First and foremost... look into programs like Police Cadets or Law Enforcement Explorers. Don't spend 4 years getting a fairly specialized undergrad degree that you, #1, don't need, and #2, often has little application outside a narrow field, unless you've spent some time finding out what cops really do, and whether it's something you want to do. (I know someone who didn't discover until he did a ride-along or internship in the spring of his senior year of college that he didn't really want to be a cop!)
The advice I typically give is two-fold; first, major in something that interests you. You'll get better grades, and be happier in general in college. And, as I've said, often an undergrad degree has little relation to a person's career field. Second, if you want to be any sort of law enforcement officer, major in something else -- or at least get a solid minor in something else. The current model across the US, from the smallest local agency up to and through the FBI, is that you get the cop stuff you need in an academy setting, dedicated to transforming you from a civilian to a LEO. But... a degree in something else may set you up for specialties or set you apart from the flock of people applying that have criminal justice degrees. For example, many agencies today are begging for officers with really solid computer science education, to be able to understand and conduct investigations involving the use of computers (from child porn through hacking to conspiracies). A good business background may enable you to work white-collar crimes cases more effectively; a hard science degree may set you up for criminalistics/forensic sciences.
And... I'd suggest visiting several forums about law enforcement; one that can be abrasive, but is honest and direct is
www.lawenforcementforums.com. If someone there has a tag on their screenname that reads "verified LEO", you can rely that they're a real LEO. Other sites include
www.Officer.com,
www.policeone.com, and more. Each has it's own atmosphere, but none is (to my knowledge) as thorough or reliable about their verification process. Check out several though, because just like martial arts forums, different people are attracted to different forums, and you'll get different views.
would be good. The problems are, I don't want to be a teacher or a politician, and I want something a little more secure then a writer (the whole starving artist thing doesn't apeal to me).
