the specific thing that I would want to do will 'accept' a degree in psych but they 'prefer' CJ. I talked to someone who is involved in hiring and they said they always look at the CJ people first --a person can do an entire Psych degree and not do a single class that has anything to do with law enforcement, criminology or corrections. so, while a degree in psych wouldn't exclude me, I would be in a better position with the CJ degree....and if I'm not going to do grad school then I'll have some money to pay for the CJ (if I decide to do it).
