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.

Maybe it's that way in America, but did you check out other countries?
ReplyDeletegenerally to be a detective you need to be a police officer first and that means police academy
ReplyDeleteEs gibt sicher auch irgendwelche Möglichkeiten für Quereinsteiger... warts mal ab.
ReplyDeleteI'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!
