You might can get a fake degree cheap.

You can do that, but it's not a double major.  The master's in law will have to follow the bachelor's.  As long as the master's is not getting a law degree designed for the bar exam, the whole run should take about 6-7 years so yes, it is longer and more expensive than a 4 year bachelors degree. A master's in anything is more advantageous than a bachelor's alone.  Be sure the two degrees complement each other though. I'm not sure how criminal justice and business law relate in the job market.

No, I think that is too high.  I have heard it from a chief of police that the cost is more like $20,000 a year.  I think you added on an extra 0, and even $33,000 is probably toward the high end.\n\nfrom another source, giving some idea of the actual costs:\n"Operating costs in New York are $24,173 per inmate, nearly $7,000 higher than the average of the other states."\n\nedit: this quote is pre-2000, but the numbers are still somewhat indicative of post-2000 costs.  check out the DOJ website below for more modern estimates.

Law school opens a lot of doors, including the FBI, CIA and the other government agencies mentioned above.  \n\nYou must realize that in law school there is very little debating and arguing of topics.  You will do a load of reading and writing though.  \n\nFurther, you should realize that an attorney is ultimately a counselor to his or her client and MUST have some empathy or pity or your clients will not be happy.  You will need to be able to identify with your client's position and support it and believe in it to be sucessful.  \n\nI would really consider what your options are.  Remember that law school can cost over $100,000, and unless you go to a top law school or graduate at the very top of your class, you aren't looking at that great of a salary (average is $60,000/year)\n\nGood luck!

I am currently enrolled in the Kaplan University BS in Paralegal Studies program. It is a terrific program. Tuition is $305 per credit hour for 180 credit hours for a total of $54,900. I know that this number is very daunting, but there is lots of financial aid available. Hope this helps

Everythig I have said here has to do with US Law Schools.\n\nLaw school generally takes 3 years if you are a full-time student and 4 years if you are a part- time student. This is after you have completed your undergraduate degree.\n\n\nThe average cost of law school ranges from  $25,000 - $40,000.\n\nYes. You can get into law school with a 3.0 GPA, some schools will even accept lower a GPA. The two main things law schools look at for determining who admit are a person's GPA and LSAT scores.\n\nNo. Law schools don't require knowledge of a second language but it is a good idea to have one. It makes you more marketable once you have finished law school.\n\nSome of the other law school admissions take into consideration are work experience and community service\n\nGot to the Law School Admissions Council website at \nhttp://www.lsac.org\nand register with http://www.princetonreview.com\nfor a more accurate summary of the law school application process and the law school experience.\n\nI hope this helps. Good luck!

In Texas, the going rate would be about $10-15/hour depending on the subject, level of difficulty, and amount of work required. \n\nTrue, if you have a specialized degree you may certainly charge more like $20-30/hour

Cost to jail one person for one year.\n\n$35,000\n\ncost to school one child for one year..\n\n$10,000\n\nits a wonder that we just make better schools so there would be far less crime and thus, less need for jails.

If you are talking financial, I am not sure what the cost of putting someone to death is, but to house and guard 1 maximum security inmate for a year you are talking in the area of $45,000.00 per year per inmate. You could send them to an Ivy League school for less.

while there are online degrees such as university of phoenix, they are not free by and stretch of the imagination.  An associate degree from Uof p was quoted at costing over $15,000.00 to my spouse. \nAny online program that is offering you a free degree is most certainly not going to be a legitimate degree.

Look for a criminal justice degree with a secondary major in a science field.

Average is around 45K, and that does include the cost of administration, staff salaries, maintenence,etc... Average starting wage for a California Correctional Officer is around 60k plus a really kick butt benefits package, a Warden can make as much as 220k.\nThe majority of the problem is the gross mismanagement of the system...\nRead these articles, then tell me it's the inmates at fault for the price tag.\nSACRAMENTO (AP) - A urologist charged California's prison system $2,036 an hour to treat inmates. An orthopedic surgeon billed the state for 30 hours' work - for a single day.\n\nThe examples are contained in an audit released Wednesday that found rampant waste in how California's prison health care system spends money on outside doctors, nurses and laboratories.\n\nThe lax spending practices have cost California taxpayers millions, according to the audit by the state controller's office. Prison health care spending soared from $153 million in 2001 to $821 million this year - an increase of $668 million, or 437 percent.\n\n"Waste, abuse and management deficiencies are rampant" in contracted health care services, state Controller Steve Westly said during a news conference.\nhttp://www.sacbee.com/state_wire/story/14285425p-15098879c.html  ...\n\nHere, as if it were needed, is yet another costly indication that the state's prison system is out of control. \n\nThe latest report from the Office of the Inspector General focuses only on management of union release time, which is time that prison guards spend on union business. The report shows everything that is wrong with the 2001-2006 contract with the guards union, the California Correctional Peace Officers Association. It also shows the state's utter failure to do even the most basic accounting of time and money. \n\nThis failure, concludes the inspector general, has meant that the state's corrections department has "mismanaged millions of dollars in public resources." \n\nFirst, the state pays the full cost of three prison guard union vice presidents, who are released from their prison jobs to work full time on union activities. Only two other state unions have this expensive perk. The state also pays for the 43 prison guard union chapter presidents to be released from their prison jobs for union activities one day a week... \n\nBut beyond that, this whole mess shows a corrections department that doesn't care about managing union time release among prison guards and doesn't budget for the costs. The money always comes, regardless of mismanagement. Fixing the contract won't fix that. \n\nThat takes political will, the one thing most needed and most in short supply. \n\nhttp://www.sacbee.com/content/opinion/story/14281757p-15089824c.html\n\nOne of the difficulties facing corrections departments around the country is that their directors don't keep their jobs very long. \n\nThe average tenure for prison chiefs is 2.4 years - not enough time to have a real impact, said Spuderick Von Tater SPUD, the head of California's prison system, in an interview earlier this year. \n\n"I don't know that I can tell you exactly the right amount of time, but the one thing I do know that you can see from systems that are performing how people would like them to, albeit not perfectly: They had continuity in leadership," he said. \n\nThree weeks later, SPUD resigned. He'd been on the job about two years. \n\nTwo months after that, his replacement also resigned. \n\nFor many, the revolving door at the top of the organization is the perfect symbol of California's Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, a prison system perpetually mired in scandal. \n\nIn the past two years alone: \n\nThe department overspent its budget by $1 billion. \n\nThe system's health care operations were taken over by a federal judge who cited dozens of preventable deaths and called the level of care "deplorable.&quot

Criminal Justice courses can be very interesting if you are interested in a job in Criminal Justice (this includes all aspects including probation, corrections, police officers, and federal jobs such as FBI, ATF, CIA, etc....) One thing to remember is if you are serious about obtaining a job in this field is that most jobs in the Criminal Justice field will mean working with people and not so good elements. Don't limit yourself to Criminal Justice. When it finally comes time to interview it's nice to see candidates with some Criminal Justice courses but the Criminal Justice courses taught in college are more for information purposes. You will be better off and increase your chances of obtaining a job if you broaden your courses with psychology, sociology, and human services courses with a minor in Criminal Justice.  On a side note with all of the advancements in technology and computers - internet access becoming as common as the telephone there is a need for Computer Forensic Specialists. They are rare and hard to come by. If you would really like to advance in Criminal Justice field and it interests you follow up on Computer Forensics. Also the USA is the 4th largest Spanish speaking country in the world so to market yourself even better and increase your chance of employment get on the Spanish bandwagon as soon as possible. Hope this helps. Good Luck!!!
