What fields are there in criminal justice, and what degrees get you there?
I'm a high school student who's stumped on what field of criminal justice I want to work to become a part of. What I'm looking for is a job with a fairly consistent schedule, decent pay, and involves crime. Bringing justice is what motivates me to work in this area, so every field sounds interesting to me. Criminal law, forensic science, CSI, policing, etc. I would love to hear any advice or stories about any field. I'm still undecided, so I just want to see the options. Even if they're hard.
CSIs, how often are you called into work after your shift ?
I'm a highschool student who wants to work in criminal justice in the future, and CSI sounds very interesting to me. But from what I've heard, you have to get up even when you're off-shift, work overtime, and have a very inconsistent schedule with minimal sleep. It's important to me that I'll have time to sleep and exercise after work, and that routine being disturbed sometimes is manageable. But I haven't heard about how often it would get disturbed, so I'm starting to think CSI might not be right for me.

Careers in Academia vs Industry?
Hello all! Recently, my professor asked me if I've ever considered a career in academia after reading one of my essays... which made me wonder what academia is and what the experience is like (beyond getting a PhD). I'm not sure what I want to do with my life, I like computer engineering (the idea of building something like a robot, etc), but I also really like forensic studies and the topics. I'm a third year student in university. So, here are my questions: If you're in academia, why do you pick it? What's something you wish you knew before starting? Would you work in industry? What are pros and cons of your job? If you're in industry, why do you pick it? What's something you wish you knew? Would you work in academia? What are pros and cons of your job?
