My ideal job would be to work as a criminologist within the FBI or another government angry. My duties would include analyzing data to determine why the crime was committed and to find ways to predict, deter, and prevent further criminal behavior. Some time may be spent at crime scenes, the majority of a criminologist’s time will be spend in either a laboratory or office, collecting and logging data to be used in criminal investigations and policymaking.

I want to become a lawyer, specifically a family lawyer. Family lawyers deal with divorces, guardianships, prenuptial agreements, adoptions, parental rights and custody. Family lawyers are there to help make sure that everything goes smoothly and well when families are dealing with these hardships. Since dealing with this kind of things can be hard, family lawyers also help council the people are dealing with. Being a family lawyer will require long hours, due to the amount of work they put into the job.

I would like to try and become a police officer and in order to do that I would need at least a minimum of 30 college units but I would like to complete my education first and get a BA. I would also need to go through and graduate from California's POST academy which gives the necessary training to become an officer. A few of the skills that I would need for the job are ability to use good judgement and problem solve, ability to deescalate situations, familiarity with the area, ability to show empathy and compassion, and good interpersonal communication skills

My ideal job in this field - as well as the career I am striving for now - is to be an attorney. Ideally, a prosecutor. Prosecutors are licensed lawyers who are either elected or hired to represent local, state, and federal governments in criminal cases against individuals or groups charged with criminal activity. They work closely with law enforcement officers, participate in criminal investigations, interview witnesses and victims, present evidence in court, and help to determine the punishment or settlement criminal defendants should receive.

My ideal job in justice administration would be to be an FBI agent. An FBI agent is involved in investigating crimes and enforcing laws. Sometimes the job can include interviewing sources, watching surveillance activities or working undercover. An FBI agent could be investigating an organized crime, terrorist attacks or drug trafficking. To be an FBI agent, you need a bachelors degree, three years of related work experience or you could have an advanced degree and two years of experience. Speaking multiple languages could also be a bonus in this career path. Some duties would include investigating crime and figuring out how and why the situation happened. To be considered for this position you need to be physically fit and mentally in a right place as the work can be hard.

I wouldn't say that I have an ideal job in this field, but the one that sounds the most interesting to me is a forensic psychologist. Forensic psychologists study human behavior and try to interpret how people relate to others and how they react to different situations, they are a perfect bridge between the psychology and criminal justice fields. They often times serve as an expert witness in family, civil, and criminal court cases. This sounds interesting to me because I would like to gain an understanding of what goes on inside the mind of a criminal, or even why parents neglect their children. I feel like there's a lot more to criminals than whether they are just "bad" people, or people with no morals. To even pursue this practice, you would need a doctoral degree in psychology and a specialty certification in forensic psychology is necessary on top of that doctoral degree. You must complete a minimum of 100 hours of education (including supervision or continuing education) and a minimum of 1,000 hours of postdoctoral forensic psychology experience. The "training" required for the job consists of 1,000 hours of postdoctoral work before you are eligible to be certified in forensic psychology.

Since I am a psychology major my ideal job would be working for the FBI or some law enforcement agency as a criminal psychologist. The job of a criminal psychologist is to help law enforcement solve crimes, analyze criminal behavior, and most often provide testimony in court. To become a criminal psychologist a masters degree or a Ph.D, in either criminal psychology or forensic psychology, is necessary. After this I would need to get a license from the state to become an official criminal psychologist.

My ideal job is a Crime Scene Investigator. The duties of a Crime Scene Investigator consist of collecting and analyzing physical evidence when a crime happens. They collect hair, finger prints, body fluids from both victims and perpetrators. With analyzing the evidence they provide accurate information which help solve investigations. They must pay attention to detail, know how to collect and store evidence properly. They must fill out files, reports and document all evidence they find. When it comes to the investigation, they are usually asked to testify and offer their expertise. Arriving at a crime scene may be very scary but it is important for the appropriate people to look at a crime scene first to make sure all evidence is found.

My ideal job in this field would be a criminal psychologist. They help police and investigators mostly by tending to the criminals and seeing if they are sane. They also are references for choosing a jury as well. Most of the time they are located in jails or prisons to check the mental conditions of an inmate to see if they're ready for trial. They can also help with child cases by examining parents and their parenting to see if the child is safe or not. I would say that the ability to generate rehabilitation is what pulled me in to research this job. Criminal psychologists can be useful because they are helping the law and the courts system but in a way they also help the criminals and try to understand their motives.

My ideal career in justice administration would be getting involved in the Federal Air Marshall service. A United States Air Marshall is responsible for maintaining both airport and aircraft security. Similar to any other position, candidates are expected to be familiar with policies pertaining to the job. In order to facilitate this process, Air Marshalls are usually enrolled in a standard police academy and then put through additional, more specialized aviation/federal training. This particular position is highly competitive, exclusive, and requires a multitude of specialized skills.

My ideal criminal justice career would be Central Intelligence Agency (CIA): Notoriously secretive CIA agents gather foreign intelligence in order to aid in decisions on national security and foreign relations, including threats like nuclear weapons and illegal drugs. You don’t need a degree for clerical positions in this organization, but intelligence analysts and overseas agents often hold advanced degrees.

My ideal job would be a police officer in California. Each individual agency has different standards on what type of education and training and different skills you need for the job. But for the most part you have to be 21, some of the police agencies require you to have a 4 year degree. Apart from that they also require for you to take college coursework throughout your career as a police officer. The different skill that you are taught are defense tactics, driving, tactical, firearms, and laws and regulations. The skills that i personally believe that I have to work on is the firearms part and also learn more about the different laws that i will be applying on the job on a daily or regular basis.

My ideal job is a juvenile and family law attorney. I feel bad for all the kids that get thrown into the legal system and are not properly represented. I am currently interning with Cate Griffiths at Recourse Medication. Part of her job is to talk with different individuals and help mediate different cases in order to prevent jail time. A lot of the cases deal with truancy. After I graduate I am going to look for juvenile probation officer jobs in order to pay my way through law school.

I like to entertain the idea that I would make a great judge one day in the Justice Administration system. Judges interpret the law and examine all evidence given for both sides as well as dictate how cases will occur inside of their courtroom. They also need to have great decision-making and analytical skills to determine if everything that is being told is 100% truthful. Perhaps the most important role though is researching legal issues for the betterment of society, making sure that our laws are constantly being respected and uplifted in the name of justice, whether that be to change, amend, or solidify.
