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.

how did you know you wanted to work in law enforcement?

currently I've been binge watching this series called CSI on Hulu. The show is from the 2000s and it has made me want to be a CSI or work as a homicide detective and learn more about the law enforcement field and forensics, my only problem is is that I don't know if this is merely a hyper fixation or if I would actually want to do this job. Just wondering how others got drawn to this job and their experiences so I can figure out if I really want to do this or not so that way I can change my highschool schedule to meet what I want to do and what will prepare me for whatever job I want to work.

if I wanted to go into law enforcement and got snakebite piercings would taking those out before work be okay also if I dyed the underside of my hair or got tattoos in easily hideable areas would that be okay? ?

Just wondering because I would love to get more piercings, more specifically snakebites but based off the small amount of research I have done I know facial piercings are not allowed in law enforcement according to the dress code. would taking out piercings before work/on days I'm on duty be okay or would that not be tolerated? Also would I get in trouble if I had them in while off duty? say, hanging out with work friends? Also how does this rule apply to people in the forensic unit? I'm looking to get into law enforcement like being a homicide detective or have something to do with forensics like a CSI or something and I don't know if the rules change for those different things.
