Is Forensic Psychology a good major?
I love criminal justice and psychology i would love to work as a private investigator or almost any crim. justice department. I’m also really interested in psychology im probably majoring in psychology next yea since im a senior in high school right now, so I found out about forensic psychology but dont know if it is an interesting path to choose. Is it an interesting field?? And if i major in only psychology could it help me get a job in a criminal justice job?

It’s very interesting and diverse. Some functions include consulting for law firms on things like jury selection or legal sanity, working to solve crimes by creating personality profiles of the culprit, to testifying as an expert witness in court cases. However, after your bachelors in psychology you will need a doctorate degree, which will take a minimum of 5 additional years. Major in clinical psychology by the way, then find a doctorate in forensic.
