College guys help me
					
					Im a 17 year old starting their Junior year next week, (dont make fun of me, I got held back in middle school. Anyways, ive been a straight A student since then lol) And ive been STRESSING STRESSING STRESSING about wtf to go to college for.
My original plan was this, right? Go to a state college for criminal justice, then join law enforcement when I graduate. Smooth sailing, right? 
WELLL I was told by a cop that majoring in criminal justice is actually NOT a good choice. This is because if you dont get hired as a cop, its practically a useless degree. So he recommended that I go in for something else, that way even if I dont get hired as a patrol officer, I can still get a job at a department.
Okay, well now im stressed tf out. Since middle school this has been my plan, crimina justice, police academy, cop. Now my plan is in SHATTERS. I have no clue what to major in college.
Ive actually considered joining the military, but that just seems like a waste of my good grades. Not to mention my record of mental health issues. and the current world situation, PROBABLY wont make that pretty.
should i just drop being a cop? go into something else instead? but being a cop has been my dream forever uuuggghhhhh... guys HELP college is so close										
										
														 
				
								
								
				
		
	
		
		
				
				
				Well what the hell are you supposed to major in in order to become a cop? Probably not the brightest idea but maybe do that???
