It is SUPER if you find yourself with more than 1 career interest or college major decision! Your skills, abilities and desires are really the driving force behind what you can do! You will no doubt have more than 1 job in yur lifetime. This will start in HS with your fast food server position at which time you might decide you LOVE the restautant business! You can even go back to college as an adult, get trained in something new and go into a whole new career! Having some angst and deciding between 2 (or more) majors while in college is NORMAL! Take a few courses in each of your prospective degree options. You will most likely really enjoy one over the other and that can help solidify your choice. Also - it's never too early or late to participate in one or more career interest assessments such as Myers Briggs and StrengthsQuest. These assessments along with a HS guidance counselor or college (academic or career) advisor will help you review and analyze your results thus guiding you toward a pathway for which you are suited or will just prefer! Volunteer work and informational interviewing folks that are in careers that interest you can bring you lots of answers as well. It really is true that if you love what you do - you will never "work" a day in your life because you are so satisfied - whether that be creating painting masterpieces, teaching HS Spanish, or being a police officer! Good Luck on this fun journey!

Hi Lavonne,
If you are interested in both Fine Arts and Criminal Justice, be sure to apply to schools that have both majors. As mentioned above, people double major all the time. You can also major in one topic and have a minor in another. This way, you do not have to limit your interests.
As for which major has more people, I think that would depend on the school.
Good luck!

Hi Lavonne,
I agree with the two answers above - choose a school that provides both majors! However, it kind of varies depending on the school you are attending. My suggestion is to do research on your top schools you would like to attend and get more background information on their criminal justice and fine arts programs. Many schools post their enrollment statistics online!
They are both great majors to study in! Research is super important in order to decide what is right for you.
