Interper Case

Several things come to mind when I think about what I would like to gain from my college education. However, the greatest would have to be the vast and wealth amount of new knowledge that I will acquire throughout my time at college. I will be opened to new ideas that I never before would of encountered or learned. I also will have an extensive amount of knowledge along with the degree which will make a step easier to achieve better pay and specialized positions. For example, my life time goal is to become a police officer and ultimately gain a position in federal law enforcement. Having this education background will all me more opportunities for promotion and the opportunity for a federal law enforcement position as most require degrees to even apply. Aside from those two benefits I believe I will gain from my education, I will also have the personal satisfaction knowing that I worked hard for my college degree and was the first in my family to graduate with a bachelors degree.

The difference between my degree in bachelors of arts and my major in criminal justice is quite significant. My major is criminal justice which obviously focuses on laws, criminal and civil procedures, juvenile crime to likely obtain a position in the public or private criminal justice agencies such as police departments, federal law enforcement or private security fields. Criminal justice is a focus on the ethical, values, procedural and upholding the Constitutional rights of citizens. My degree, bachelors of arts, is focused on a broad and more or less a well-rounded education degree as I will be learning several disciplines such as liberal arts, natural science and it also requires two years of a foreign language. This allows for a wide variety of understanding in many different fields as I am not forced to be in one specialized area but instead a vast amount of ideas.
