Ok here is the situation. According to the state, I am disabled from some brain surgery I had. I have an associates in criminal justice, but no one will let me do anything fun...well alright legally they can't say no based on that, but I personally think i would be at too much risk, and I don't want to do basic security guard work, I'm more anylitical according to the tests i have taken. I was thinking invetigator, but In new york state there is too much involved in gettting a P.I license. I want to do somthing in criminal justice, hell my first pick was the military, but they didn't let me in, I am really in a rut, I am going for my bacholers in criminal justice, i don't want an office job, I want to get out and travel and stuff like that while in the criminal justice field, any suggestions? I want to get into criminal justice, I am sick of these little walmart jobs, and i want to make a difference.

Keep up with your education and they can't deny you. Sounds like you are heading in the right direction - don't give up.

I just recently graduated with a B.S. in Criminal Justice and currently working as a prison guard(interesting but mundane work) and I've applied to work for the harris county sheriff's department here in the greater houston area. Maybe those are 2 viable options for you?

You have several options, Parole, Probation, Corrections, and Police. You might also look into forensics. It's not like the CSI shows, but it could be interesting. Once you develop an expertise, you might be called upon to testify in court cases.
