Recommended: Career in criminal justice

I have chosen Criminal Justice as my intended major because of the many job careers that come with having that degree in this field of study. I chose this because my dream is to become an FBI agent and with this major I get to study sociology and psychology and also law enforcement which is really interesting. Becoming an FBI agent opens many doors for you within the government system, also GS-10 employees, earn $43,441 per year. In order for me to achieve this goal I would have to receive an four year bachelor degree from an accredited university or college. I am willing to work hard in order to accomplish this goal of mine. The Myers-Briggs Inventory was not in line with my career choices but this is not stopping me from completing everything

    Lawrence Jones, a professor Emeritus in the College of Education at North Carolina State University; studies school counseling and career counseling and development, states, “recent studies show that a good personality-major match is related to college success. Generally, the better the match the better students do. So, unquestionably, choosing a major is one of the most important decisions you will make. ”A good choice in a major could lead to higher grades because you will have more potential to finish your major, it will help you be more motivated, you could finish college in four years, and you will be more fulfilled and well off in your future career (Jones 3). With my own experience so far in college, this depiction of having more motivation which leads to doing better in your classes when you choose a major that you are interested in is accurate. I have loved the sciences ever since high school. All of the classes were just so interesting and I enjoyed learning about science, even if it was hard. When I got into my junior year of high school, I took a chemistry class, did very well in it, and loved it. Ever since then, I have had a passion to study chemistry, which lead me to choose a biochemistry major. Because I love learning about chemistry and biology, I am more motivated to study, which leads me to do better in my science classes. Since I chose a major that I am interested in learning about, I will do better. This is similar to why Mike and Sulley choose their major based on their likes and talents, and this is one way how Monsters University portrays college

  • Career Exploration Reflection

    After completing the Focus 2 program I was offered the following summaries. I have a very strong self-assessment, likely because of my age and experience in the work force to date. My career exploration assessment scored in the middle which I think reflects that fact that I have worked in the same industry, doing the same job for the last twenty five years. I have not spent much time investigating new career paths up until last year. Lastly my career planning satisfaction score also come back in the middle indicating that I may be experiencing some problems with my career planning. I think this indication may have been a false reading. My academic strengths are mostly centered in the sciences. Business, engineering, and technology were all strongly mentioned. Areas that are not my strongest include traditional arts, performing arts, and languages/literature, although I excel in my native tongue. I have very little interest in most traditional arts, so this result is not very surprising.

    I suggest a statute that would result in criminal justice reform. A future statute that would reside on the federal level would be a reform to plea bargaining in criminal justice institutions. I believe that there is issues on both sides of the spectrum in relation to plea bargaining. For instance, there are many cases of individuals committing murder and receiving a plea bargain that is unjust. When there is objective proof that an individual committed a murder, I claim that a lower charge is malicious towards the victim and cohorts.

Unsure of what academic path to pursue, I ended up with three different majors my first three years as I tied a variety of science courses.

I knew initially that if I were to choose this major, I would have to dedicate an extra year to my undergraduate career. This was not a problem to me since the benefits of the program greatly outweighed the
