I already applied to 5 cop colleges.. i can't give advice because i don't know you that well. if i was speeding and YOU pulled me over i would start crying. so you have that to your advantage if you become a cop.

why not be a PI who doubles as a bartender? all the skils of a journalist, some cop crap, and a bar to work for tips.

Bartender is by the far the coolest of the three.

I'm a journalist (well, sort of). Everyone treats you like shit and thinks that they could do a much better job than you. It fucking sucks.

Do you actually know what is entail in each job. I am not trying to be a dick here. I am just saying make an informed choice. Also remember you can change your degree at anytime, so it is not like it is written in stone.
Also remember, your first year is really all about drinking and getting layed.

Wow, you really showed me. I just learned a valuable lesson though. Never help an asshole that is too stupid to make up its little mind about what it wants to be when it grows up. Welcome to my ignore list mister smarty pants. :p

hehe, anyway, I think you should also look for a job that will be able to support you AND a family in the future, and I don't think bartending can do that. So I'd say go with either a cop or a journalist. Journalist can make a lot more moey than cops though

If they dont suck...Anyway, I would not advise going into bartending. As someone else stated earlier, I dont know you that well, but If you want to shoot people legally I would go w/the cop job.
