What other career choices do I have while I’m still in school?
Ok so I live in New York City and I work security. It is the most boring job that I have ever had. You stand around or sit around and so nothing for some hours on end. I’m in college for Criminal Justice at John Jay and in the future I want to work in corrections or as a detective. So my question is, what can I do for work while I’m in college? I want something that can somehow relate to law/enforcement/counseling or anything relative to my major. Working at the Gap or as a waitress for instance isn’t really getting me relative experience if you understand what I mean. I just want something not as boring as security. Any ideas please give them to me. Thanks alot in advance.
It may be tough with out having finished your degree/certification to get a job in these fields. However, there are many jobs that may start out as internships and end up in paid positions. Does your school post possible internships or volunteer positions?
Boys and Girls Club, Samaratins, shelters for the homeless are always in need of people. Some positions are paid, others volunteer. All will give you great experience that is relevant to your future career. You may be able to get trained as a dispatcher for an ambulance service, fire station or police station, but I am not sure of the qualifications. Its worth asking though!
Good luck
