I Graduated college in December with a B.S. degree I. criminal Justice with hopes of becoming a crime scene investigator, I was told by the agency I needed experience first, so they recommended volunteering, I ended up applying and got rejected (the email said it’s because of my job history) with that being said, didn’t I technically waste my time going to school for this degree? If I had known my job history was going to be a big factor, I would’ve stayed at my low paying/shitty management job

Because think of it, I can’t erase my job history, or lie about it because they would find it through investigations , so I don’t know what to do now. I definitely don’t want to be a cop either

I agree with you 💯 %!! I went to school for my BS in criminology and Applied psychology and I am a Code Enforcement Officer with a huge load of student loans. I think I should is never gone to school.

I did background investigations for a while during my career. Job history is non-specific & related to one agency or opinion. Are you willing to move or seek out larger agencies that have regional crime labs? The sworn positions usually pay much better & CSI can be an assignment. Good luck.

Apply for an officer or criminal investigator (special agent) position to get some experience. If you still want to do it after a couple of years go for it. Or you may want to stay where you’re at. Best of luck.
