Question

I am working on getting my associate degree in criminal justice with and emphasis on Crime scene technician. I am looking for a job, that is hard to come by. but i would really love a job that is kind of like CST or will get me some "hands on work" for when i do get there. Any help on some start of jobs that don't require a degree right off hand and has to do with the CST field or close to it?

Answer 1

EVEN TOUGH WITH AN ASSOCIATES DEGREE..
PERHAPS IF YOU ARE OLD ENOUGH AGE 21--YOU CAN GET STARTED WITH COUNTY OR CITY POLICE DEPT
AS DEPUTY/POLICE OFFICER AND REALLY GET HANDS ON EXPERIENCE.
ALSO JAILER CERTIFICATION AND DUTY WORK WOULD BE GREAT HELP ALSO.

THESE JOB ALL REQUIRE STATE CERTIFICATION....
TWO YEAR DEGREE WILL HELP OPEN DOOR BUT FUTURE IS BACHELORS....AND THINK ABOUT GETTING CERTIFIED TO GET REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE AND PAID DOING IT.
