I'm trying to help my girlfriend out.

We live in a suburb of Buffalo, NY, and she is trying to put her Bachelor's in Criminal Justice to work.

She does not want to be a police officer, or security guard.

She is about 2 years out of college, she graduated with highest honors, and we both work at a bank for basically nothing.

She did test for the Crime Scene Tech job in Las Vegas, and scored 40 out of 300, but did not get an interview, they only took the top 30.

Any leads?

Thanks,
Justin

There is always things like:
Local Code Enforcement
Probation Offficer
Clerking in the DAs office
OSHA Investigator
EPA Environmental Crimes Division
Federal Immigration Officer (ICE)
US Customs Inspector
Local Game Warden or US Forestry or National Park Service Ranger

See plenty of selections and I haven't really given it much thought.

Why is she interested in this degree? What classes does she like? Maybe paralegal? Or, maybe getting a masters in Social Work? I ask as I have over ten years in the legal profession but will be going back to school and eventually earn a masters in either Counseling, Social Work or School Psychology.

Then I would suggest she look into code enforcement. That job is usually associated with a local health department. It will give a foot in the door so-to-speak. When she gets her graduate degrees, she can transfer over to social services or counciling w/in the health department at the same employer without losing time accrued or benefits and the like.
