Starting from an early age, I've always been interested in crime investigation shows. I've been watching television programs such as CSI, Criminal Minds, The Mentalist, Law & Order, and Numb3rs for as long as I can remember. Becoming a detective and working for the police would be a very tiring and stressful job, not to mention dangerous. However, it is a very rewarding job and you can help people get justice and put away criminals for good. It'd be a nice feeling knowing that I've helped make streets a bit safer for citizens.
Another job in this field I might want to pursue is becoming a lawyer. I want to help others, serve as a resource, and I enjoy politics and the relevance of law. I think that by having a law degree, I can make a difference in the society because the only way to change something is by law. Despite this, there are many drawbacks to this career choice. I want to go to a law school like Harvard but I doubt I'd get in because there are thousands of students who would be more qualified than me. Law school is very long and time consuming; it can take up to 8 years for me to get my degree. It is very expensive and I'd probably be in debt because of student loans. I am afraid that this job is not creative and very boring. I'm not sure whether I will end up doing this later on in life but I'm just trying to keep my options open.
I agree with you about your hesitations about becoming a lawyer, but I think you should definitely look in to forensics/becoming a detective. It does seem to be a rewarding job!
