What's a good criminal justice related job for a student?

I think a part time security guard would be great. Why do you think being female is an issue?

@PluckyDog If you saw me, you’d know why. If something actually went down while I was on my shift, there’s absolutely nothing threatening about me. It just wouldn’t be a good fit for me.

Maybe I shouldn’t have phrased that line like I did. I’m sure there are plenty of females that could do great as a security guard. I’m not one of them.

Legal assistant – large firms would probably require training or previous experience, but small offices or one attorney might hire you for office help

I interned at a prison for a summer. It wasn’t an actual “get a paycheck” job, but I got 6 college credits and a boatload of experience. That’s one option, because it is something you can put on your resume. See if the local probation office is willing to take on an intern.
Security jobs are still a possibility, even if you believe you aren’t an intimidating person. You probably couldn’t be a bouncer at a club, but sometimes college campuses have “cadet” positions where you just kinda patrol and keep an eye on the campus. I’m currently working on my masters in criminal justice and I write the parking tickets for the university, which is technically a law enforcement job, so you could check something like that out too. Best of luck!
