I was wondering if anybody in here had Criminal Justice degrees. I'm wanting to major in criminal justice but being real discouraged by some with the degree, saying it is useless. Tell me what your experiences were like after you graduated and what career choice you took, and if you regret, or are satisfied, with your field of study.

I have a military background and enjoy investigative type work. I do not want to join any state/federal agency or I might as well reenter active duty. I want to work in the CJ field as a civilian. Not just investigations, but anything. So my concerns are how limited are my career options and what is this degree really worth?
