My Career Choice
The area I chose for my field is to become a Crime Scene Investigator. I chose this area because it is a job that I have been interested in since I was twelve years old. I have researched and discussed the job with a friend of my mother’s who is in the exact field. This area of Criminal Justice is not anything like the other fields of specialty. Every crime scene is like a puzzle, you have to find all the missing pieces and then put them into place. No two-crime scenes are the same; it is a new puzzle every time. My personal reason for choosing to be a CSI is that it is a puzzle. It challenges not just your abilities, but it also challenges your brain. It is never the same thing every day. My main reason for becoming a CSI is to get justice for the victims. My professional reasons for becoming a Crime Scene Investigator are to get criminals off the streets. I would like to make a good career out of being a CSI. Another reason is that I will gain great skills out of this profession. There is always a want for CSI’s and Criminal Justice majors. I will be successful because I will have my bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. I will get a great deal of work experience in my field. I will gain a great deal of skills that can only help me go further. I plan to be as successful as I can be. My academic goals will help me succeed because without a degree you cannot get a good job. You cannot go any further in your field of study. The academic goals should be realistic and time oriented. These goals should be within your period for schooling, and they should be in three lengths. A short-term goal, A medium term goal, and a long-term goal. My professional goals will help me succeed because they will get me a good job, and work experience. They will help me gain skills that are needed in my area of work, and they will help me move up in my career. I believe that both academic and professional goals are the two major steps in becoming a Crime Scene

    My educational goals and plans involve criminal justice, human services, and vet science. I went to Niacc for two years to try and get my Criminal Justice degree. I took several classes for it, but fell short of money to finish what I needed to graduate. I have always been interested in T.V. shows like Criminal Minds and Law and Order: SVU, 48 Hours, and Dateline. Those shows give me the idea of what I want to do and who I want to be like. I don't know the destined occupation in that career field that I want to do. I would be okay with any job in that career field though. I have much respect for police officers and fire fighters. I always told myself I want to be like them someday. I want to be a hero to someone. I want to go the extra…

    Criminal Justice Career

    • 1352 Words
    • 6 Pages

    It has taken a long time to choose a career, and I have gone through many other options before deciding on this. I think a criminologist is a good career for me, because I have not been deterred from it, and there has not been a part of it that I would not enjoy. For example, I did not want to be a vet, because I do not like to see animals in pain. I did not want to be a truck driver, because I am not that big into driving. More recently, I do not want to be a cop, because I am more interested in the why then catching a criminal. The other reason I think this would be a good career for me is because I like to figure out why people are the way that they are, and why people do the things that they do. I enjoy studying human behavior, and I have always held an interest in learning about why criminals are criminals, and what drove them to choose that crime, and could it have been prevented. Another reason I think this career would be a better fit for me, than other fields in the criminal justice program, like attorney, or police officer, is because I am not too interested in the law part, or arresting people, but I am into finding out the why and…

My goals in life are to become something that makes enough money to support my family and then some. If I were to become a coroner, I would be making very decent money.
