I am only a sophomore in high school, and i want to be a lawyer, but i think i would rather be a police officer and try to make swat. I know lawyers make more money, but i cant see myself being a lawyer, and besides money, i cant think of a reason to be one. But i was wondering what job possibilities are there for studying law and criminal justice
I graduated with a degree in criminal justice with a minor in forensics. Though I decided not to pursue that path. I have several friends from college who did, and have become parole officers, sheriffs, and police officers. There are several things despite becoming a lawyer you can do with that major. If you do plan to become a lawyer I would suggest studying pre-law. It would help you in the long run. Good luck!
BTW- in San Diego CA, you can expect to make 30-45K a year starting in law enforcement.
I would suggest being an investigator for State Attorney General's Office such as Missing Person's Division,or Child Custody Division.
