(I-Canada-News.Com, July 19, 2012 ) La Prairie, Canada -- Those looking to pursue a career in criminal justice would be well served by visiting Criminal Justice Degree Jobs, an authority website in the field. The website is chock-full of solid information about all aspects of acquiring a degree including education requirements, job search and salaries.
A degree in criminal justice opens the door for a variety of positions. According to Payscale.com, the most attractive professions for degree holders are:
• Police Officer
• Police Detective
• Security Officer
• Security Manager
• Probation Officer

Many students opt to go even further and complete a master’s degree in criminal justice to provide themselves with even better job opportunities, such as working for a federal law enforcement agency, where the pay scale is higher than that of its local counterparts.
According to Criminal Justice Degree Jobs, a criminal justice degree is not a necessity to get into law enforcement, a high school diploma or GED will suffice; however, degree holders occupy higher ranking and considerably better paying positions. Your level of education can mean the difference between earning a yearly salary of as little as $29,000 or as much as $119,000. Federal law enforcement agents, more specifically FBI agents, command the highest salaries ranging from $46,000 to $119,000.
The website asserts that, similar to most other professions, location, education and experience will affect your earnings the most whether on the local, state or federal levels.
As far as schools, the top institutions in the country, according to Criminal Justice Degree Jobs, are CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice, Michigan State University, Northwestern University, and Penn State University at University Park.
