Well, no more of that...

Yeah, today's a beautiful day but honestly, not so great right now. I just went to see my mentor for Criminal Justice. The big questions: What can I do with my degree that has to do with either investigations or counseling children? What options do I have in terms of counseling delinquents? Should I go to grad school? Can I be a criminal investigator without going to police academy? 


Well, there was no "maybe you should" and "it would be better", but just a simple "no". I can't be an investigator, I can't go into forensic sciences, I can't work crime scenes. None of it. Great, that's how I feel right now, just great... So all the stuff I aimed for, all the stuff I read about and learned and watched and collected, it's all for nothing because I can't be a detective anyway. So now I just have to focus on other things, like becoming a counselor for juvenile delinquents. It was my other option, but I just wished I could be a detective instead. So now my day ended up being disappointing and sad rather than fun with great weather.

  2. generally to be a detective you need to be a police officer first and that means police academy

  4. I'm so sorry! I knew you were worried about this. Sucks that your counselor was so concrete in his answer though. Just no. If you were here I'd have you over for a scary movie night packed full of 1 euro sangria and other silly things to cheer you up. :( Well...at least your second option is still there. :D chin up, mate!
