I’m a journalism major/sociology minor in college who would like to switch over to something in law enforcement. However, aside from police officer, I’m not quite sure what else I can do in the field. I’ve taken some courses on terrorism, the prison system, and criminology. I work well under stress and love investigating things and figuring them out. However, I don’t think I’m brave enough to be a field officer. Is there any behind the scenes job in law enforcement that I could do?

I got very confused today. The feeling of not wanting to go to college came upon me. I have taken 6 classes at a community college so far and I have been doing well until I got a C and D in one of my classes. I do not feel like doing this for 4 more years; study, study, and study.. I love animals, art, design, I have even thought about real estate. Can I have a good career and life without earning a college degree? Will I be able to support myself and hopefully a family? What careers would be fit for me based on these descriptions? Thank you very much, Netti

I'm 17 with a GED, but I want to go to college for a trade but don't know what's the best...I just want what pays the most ( I know I don't have many options). I'm just going to save up and become an entrepreneur, but it'll take forever with a low paying job.
