The Benefits of Earning a Degree in Criminal Justice

Are you looking for a degree that will allow you to earn a living while making a difference in the world? Criminal justice may be the field for you. Individuals with a criminal justice education, which is offered at many post-secondary schools, can choose from a variety of careers, many of which also offer comfortable paychecks as well as good prospects for job seekers.

Choices After Graduation
There are many career paths available to those who go to school for a criminal justice degree. Graduates of these programs are employed as police officers at the federal, state, and local levels as well as in correctional facilities, probation departments and parole agencies. In addition you could consider a job as a private detective or investigator.

There's more good news for criminal justice graduates when it comes to finding a job. In today's security-focused world, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts faster than average growth for employment of private detectives and investigators. Earning potential for individuals with a criminal justice degree is also positive. For example, police officers' median earnings in 2004 were $45,210 according to BLS data and probation officers and correctional treatment specialists earned a median salary of $39,600.

Helping Others, Helping Yourself
An added benefit for those with an education and career in criminal justice is the knowledge that you are contributing to the protection of your community and country. As a student of this discipline, and upon entering the workforce, you can be proud of the role you play in keeping our world safe each day
