I can't decide whether to join the police dept. or join a military branch after school. My ultimate goal is to be a forensic psychologist for the FBI ( one of my profesors was one of these) The psychology of a criminal facinates me and I would like to help catch them. Which should I do in order to get there, become a police officer and go for homicide detective or join the military? Which would help my ultimate career goal more?

Maybelli I majored in psychology.

I have a friend who is a police officer and had a few interviews with the FBI. They think very highly of police officers that do special ops (SWAT,honor guard etc). I'd say go for the police officer. Best of luck.

I would join the military because it has plenty of benefits afterwards! Something bothers me these days about becoming a police officer when we seem to be moving toward a police state and the only immune are police themselves and politicans!

Join the Navy (no one is shooting at them.) Then you'll have an easy slot into the next job, whatever you choose.

Either one would be a benefit to our country. Good Luck in your future.
