Career Path

Majoring in Criminology has not made me want to become a police officer, although the path I want to go into I have to do 3 years of service before I can actually do my dream job. My dream job would be to become a criminal investigator. Recently, actually just yesterday, something may have changed that. I realized that becoming a criminal investigator I would be able to help find out why people commit crime, harm people, etc. but I wouldn't be stopping them. There is a video I watched, some may have heard of it, some may have not. It's called Kony 2012, it's about a Ugandan man who abducts children for his own personal army. As much as I could go on about this subject, it's better if you just watch the video. (http://vimeo.com/invisible/kony2012) From watching this video, I realized I still want to be a criminal investigator, but I want to be able to stop the "bad guys" from harming anyone else, I want to save someone, I want to make a difference in someones life. As far fetch as that dream may be, I plan to do something about it.

  1. As a criminology student, what do you think are the best ways so stop crimes like those being commit by warlords like Kony? Do you want to work on a local level or as something bigger like an FBI agent?

  2. I think that its great that you want to stop crimes because people are dying everyday now over nothing really but my question is do you think that Kony 2012 movement was really true? because there's been a lot of questions about that movement. Do you have to do extra Schooling to be an investigator?
