Currently I am 20 years of age. I am in school majoring in criminal justice (went to a university a year and a half ago as pre-bus, but didn't like the feel of the university or that major). I have read these forums up and down, and despite the amount of LE jargon, I have yet to find a real answer to how you can really consider yourself eligible to be a federal LEO, and even local agency LE.
How 'easy' is it to become a LEO? Would having a 4 year Bachelor in criminal justice put me leaps above other candidates? Are there more ambitious things I could do in relation to law enforcement with that degree?
Just to note, I would consider myself capable of passing the physical, medical, psych. and BI. Would my size hurt or help me? I'm 6'5 275
Basically, what could I do with a 4 year degree in CJ with minimal work experience (i am currently employed as an on call para-educator with the orange county Dept. of Ed, and have been an after school teacher for the YMCA)?
