So i want to major in criminal justice or criminology, also possibly forensic science. i want to be some kind of officer, or have a job in CSI or the FBI. It would be awesome and i think i'd absolutely love it. My mom thinks that its not going to get me a job or anything. but i think its a good field- the justice system always needs people in it...its not like i'm going to be an artist or writer or something which doesn't exactly guarantee anything. My mom wants me to major in engineering. I don't like engineering; i went to a program at UVM that focused on different types of engineering, and i wasn't too into it. She said i could minor in what i want to major in, but i dont want to major in something i'm not passionate about and would not enjoy.

I tried to talk to her about maybe doing biochemical science or something or other, but she wants me to do engineering! i'm not creative and the best analytical problem! i want to help people directly. not just make stuff for people that they won't even remember me for. I want her to be satisfied with my choice- she is the one paying, unless i get alot of scholarships. How could i make a deal with her?
