If you have your criminal justice degree, you can go on to earn your law degree and become a lawyer.
Jobs available in the field of criminal justice are police officer, detective, criminal investigator, corrections, and warden.
Requirements depend on the department you wish to work for. Most require at least some college nowadays for even becoming a police officer. From there, you can move up to detective (larger departments have separate divisions like Homicide, Vice, blah blah blah). Or, you can go into Corrections (I wouldn't). Or Probation & Parole. Juvenile. Court system. Meter maid. Animal Control. Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms (and Explosives, now). TABC. FBI. There's a whole slew of things you can get into.
