HAVING A CRIMINAL JUSTICE DEGREE

2. REASON WHY I WANT MY DEGREES
• My dream job is study people, studying their ways, habits, and mind. I find it interesting to
know how people think and why they think the way they do or do they think the same way
as everybody else. The mind is a wonderful place to learn, I feel that you can a lesson or
two by knowing what other people think. Reasons why I want my minor in behavioral
science.
• My major is Criminal Justice, and my main goal in life is to start my Restart program,
where ex-convicts under the age of 24 can start a new life and change there self as a
person. The program will have ways were they will be able to get a education or GED. My
program will help them find work, living, and other activity's for them to do instead of
getting in trouble.

3. WHAT WILL I NEED
• I have to do well in my major course classes and really focus, learn and pay
very good attention. I will like to complete my course with a non-average
grade in any of the courses.
• I will need to take several criminal justice classes and different correctional
justices courses. I will need multiple psychology classes and behavioral
course.
• I will need to have a great internship, so that I will be well knowledgeable
about the career field I'm going into. I need internship for both my major and
minor. I think working with different types of origins and different company's
and different work fields will help me better understand my career goal in life.

Psychology, Legal Aspects, Juvenile Delinquency.)

Hopefully my intern job will have me well
equipped.

will have a well paying job in the
field I want it to be. This job
needs to the start of me having
my own program for young adults
