I am a retired investigator with a bachelors in criminal justice, one job you could go into with this degree would be a Legal Investigator I have to say at your age correction jobs and police jobs are probably out of the question,but if you obtained your masters in criminal justice you could teach a course in criminal justice or related field at a college or university thats one avenue you could take and they pay well.

Question
Submitted 368 days ago...
I am in my forties, and I am currently enrolled in an online bachelor's degree program.
My selected field is criminal justice; however, I have read in several places that people over age 37 are not usually considered for jobs such as probation or parole officers. I assume that I am too old to be a police officer, although I am not interested in going that route, truthfully, there is not much I would like to do other than psychology or social work. I would like to do it in a correctional type atmosphere working with adults. The problem is that I started my degree in criminal justice and really do not want to disregard the classes I took or start over in another field. I plan to get my bachelor's degree in criminal justice and my master's degree in social work. The problem is once I get my bachelor's degree in criminal justice, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a job. I am not sure that I will be able to get my master’s degree in social work, so I would like to play it safe just in case. I am not currently working in the criminal justice field and I have no previous experience in the field. Is it true that it is a hard field to break into without experience? Any suggestions on possible criminal justice careers I could do with a bachelor’s degree, while in my mid-forties?
