Police Academy or College?
I want to be a detective, and I know it takes FOREVER to get there, but I go to college in a year. (I most definitely am a planner, so yes, I'm planning this far in advance.) I want to go to NCSU, because they are the top ranked University for criminology in NC. Although I don't know if I want to go to a police academy and skip college, or go to college and mature, and then go into the police academy. Today, I saw a Redditor ask if they should go to college for Criminal Justice or what. And surprisingly, people said not to go for CJ and go for teaching instead. Any advice is helpful!
