I am going to school to become a Judicial Reporter. My friends think it's stupid because it's not a recognized career. I really enjoy working with police officers because I've done it in the past, but for some reason they think it's lame. I really think I should finish scool and get it over with. But, they think I'm going to get bored in that profession. Starting salary is 40K. I am really looking forward to graduation but, no one else is...

I don't think it's stupid at all! I'm actually a reporting student! :D I'm specifically going into captioning, but I've taken NUMEROUS court reporting classes. The paycheck when you graduate is SOOOO nice (from what I hear). And the job is NOT boring. Or at least I have no reason to think so! And the beauty of it not being a highly recognized career is that when you DO get a job, you'll have LOTS of openings and opportunities to work wherever you want! You'll never be turned down because the company or court doesn't need any more reporters. Know what I mean? So yeah, I think it's and awesome career and if it's what YOU want to do then GO FOR IT! :D

Don't worry what others think...Do what's right for you..Court Reporting is a very good job with a great starting salary... it sounds like it will be just right for you !! Your "friends" are probably jealous because you'll have a stable career and they are still living with their parents !! Just wait till you'll be able to buy your own place or a new car ...they'll FREEEK !!!Good Luck in your new career !!!

I don't think going to school for a judicial reporter is dumb. Anything in the Criminal Justice field is a good position to be in.

Why on earth would we think that it is lame? I personally think your 'friends' are pretty lame themselves, if they think it's lame just because it's not a recognized career. They are totally lame!

If you like it, and it's what you want to do, then don't worry about what your friends or family think about it. You're the one who'll have to live with your choices, not them, and if you give up what you love to please them, it'll only contribute to your own dissatisfaction.
