So confused? I need help should I get my Master's degree in Criminal justice or in Psychology


So confused? I need help should I get my Master's degree in Criminal justice or in Psychology?
Soon I'm going to get my Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice and I'm planing on getting my Master's Degree but I do not know if I want to get my Master's in Criminal Justice or Psychology? I like psycholoy and I'm thinking of becoming a psychologist is there any way I can do that with a Master's degree in Psychology? What jobs can I seek with a Criminal Justice Bachelor's Degree and a Psychology Master's Dgree? By any chance what would be the pay? Any helpful advice is welcomed and useful information.. THanks I know in order to become a psychologist I must go beyond a Master's degree and onto a PHD... I might just stick to my Criminal Justice.. IDK I'm still confused... THanks to everyone for your help.

I don't know much about this stuff but all I can tell is that if you take Masters in Criminal justice then you'd have an easy time adjusting to the curriculum and if you that psychology there is a lot of work there. but in the end you should choose what you like not think of the money.. as you can make money in both and a lot and would be helping some tainted souls.. but.. yeah.. all I'm saying is that.. you should make your choice on you accordance and not compromise. .. Well best of luck..

i was looking up best college majors and jobs that come after them. and psychology is the worst major. i'm sorry to tell you but it is very common for people to want to become a psychologist but there isn't a very high demand for them. so i think you should go for criminal justice.

Below are a few sources that list professional and academic opportunities for the combination of criminal justice and psychology around North America and the U.K. Just overall, it appears that police work, parole officers, and especially forensic psychologists make good professional matches for this academic combination.

A MA in Psychology does not allow you to practice psychology independently. That requires a PhD. With a Master's in Psychology, you generally work under the supervision of a psychologist or in a setting other than counseling.
