So this whole summer I basically took off from school because I can't seem to make up my mind on what I should major in. First I was in engineering. I quickly found out that wasn't for me. Then I switched my major to business administration. And I've been taking courses in that field, but now I'm not sure that I even want to major in that. So now what I'm torn between is business administratin and criminal justice. When I think of criminal justice, I think of starting off as a cop, and then hopefully one day going to work for the federal government. Law enforcement is an area I can definitely see myself working in. My dad is a cop and my grand dad is a cop. And it's nothing that I can explain, but I just know that I would do well in law enforcement. I know I could excel.
Before I made a decision I took a few months and thought about just what direction I wanted to go in. I asked myself all kinds of questions and thought deeply of them. Why would I want to be a cop? Would I want to appear to be a cop, or would I want to be a cop? And in my head when trying to answer these questions I thought of certain events that occurred in my life that made me feel alive and satisfied. I guess mostly it's the thought of it always being something new and always something interesting. Problems I'd care to solve and that I know are important. And my hopes of going federal one day and getting to travel and all that good stuff.
I can't see myself working a shit desk job for the rest of my life. I can't see myself as being just another drone at the office, listening to bosses drone on about meaningless nonsense. I can't see myself kissing ass with my business degree in order to get to the top. However I can see myself earning my way to the top with good old passionate hard work.
Summed up, this is why I'm gonna major in criminal justice.
