What would be the best major for someone planning on applying for the FBI?
I’m getting ready to apply to colleges and this entire time my plan has been to major in criminology (or homeland security if offered) and minor in sociology. But, before that I plan on going to the marine corps but doing reserves so I can go to college while enlisted. I would like to switch to active duty after graduating college, and after finishing my contract I’d like to apply for the FBI. This has been my plan for quite a while but now I keep seeing things saying criminology and sociology are useless majors for the FBI and that “they’re not competitive enough”. Should I switch my majors (if so, what would suit me better), or should I stick with my original majors? Thank you in advance for the help!
Should I get my masters in criminology or sociology?
I am graduating with a bachelors in Criminal Justice with concentration in Crime and Criminology this year.... and I am looking on going into my masters. I want to do something within forensic sociology - criminologist, detective, forensics things like that. I am wondering what would be better, a masters in sociology or masters in criminology? I have done research and it said either works but what would be best? I do have a minor in sociology (School wouldn't let me double major). I talked to a few of my professors and they also all said it doesn't really matter. I am also looking into getting a Ph.D but what I get that in will depend on what I get for my masters.

I plan to go to University to get my Bachelors of Science in Sociology, and I am currently at community college. Would graduating with my Associates of Applied Science in Mental Health and Human Service help me with the Bachelors I am trying to pursue?
I am 24 and I want to get on a fast track to finish school. If I was getting my Associates of Arts I would just need to take KINE but the community college needs me to take more classes with them in order to get my associates so that is why I am thinking of switching to AAS to then later transfer to complete my Bachelors in Sociology.

I have really good internship offers for the medical field, but Im really only interested in the Mental Health field, does anyone have any recommendations to what I should do?
Hi, Currently I am a highschool student who is also minoring in psychology at community college and plans to double major in psychology and sociology, then earn a masters in social work, recently I was presented the opportunity to be inscribed with the Congress of Future Medical Leaders Award of Excellence, which is a two day national academy of future physicians congress meeting that will also allow me to be featured on local TV stations and newspapers. The problem being that I'm not interested in the medical field as a future career path. If I were able to pass this over to someone else, I would but I can't. This would be a really big opportunity to put myself out there, and it would look really good on college applications, and on my academic profile, but it doesn't have anything that I inherently want for my future career path, and it also might look weird on my college applications.

Should I major in Sociology and minor in psychology or the other way around?
