I am majoring in the criminal justice because I am very interested in many aspects of the field. I have a few career aspirations, although I do not know which one or ones to pursue , I do know that no matter which I choose I will be using a lot of the information gained from my SOSC 102 course within my career choice.

Another one of my career aspirations is to become a detective. I would love to become a detective because, just like forensic science technicians, they too have to find answers to problems by thinking outside of the box.
In order to become a detective I would have to start as a police officer and work my up in the field, but the job outlook for police officers is more promising than that of a forensic science technician at this time.
