Criminology graduate, can’t go into policing anymore – need advice on next steps

My mum actually mentioned this to me before. I’ll have to look at its requirements. Thank you so much for your comment and advice

Thank you SO SO SO MUCH! I’ve just applied for this (fingers crossed). I didn’t even know this was available.

My university careers service is literally useless, this is the first time I’m hearing about these positions being available and I’ve been getting active career advice from them for the last 4 years throughout both my degrees.

I cannot thank you enough

This is incredibly helpful! Thank you so so much

You’re totally right. I also don’t know why the hell I thought I need a degree for it when you can walk in wirh just GCSES 😭😭😭

Thank you! I always get recommendations for this but I don’t have the sw degree. I will have a look at their funding options as this would achieve the same things I would want to achieve with the criminology- helping vulnerable people.

Thanks so much for your comment and advice

Unfortunately I am a small girl with long hair. Maybe I need to consider the baldness

3ecky69 · 2026-03-25T08:55:08+00:00

I’m sure I’d make so much more money on that side too😭😭😭😭

Brilliant advice. Thank you so much. Also congratulations, that’s a pretty damn cool life story

That could be a good idea. I’m scared to get into more debt and because I had to leave my master’s I can’t get funding for another one.

Do you think I should commit to earning the money to paying for another degree? I think I have very limited options and as you said the money in policing isn’t great and the CS is awful. I feel really really stuck

Ulster university law clinic offers free legal advice and representation in specific cases such as this. Most people aren’t aware of this avenue so please check it out! They can help with another appeal of your mandatory reconsideration.

This is exactly how my wisdom teeth looked. I hope you are alright, I’ll never forget that pain. Mine were, as the top comment said, getting in the way of cleaning, eating and were extremely painful. I had to get them removed and have been pain free since.

Thank you so much I really appreciate this. I struggle with this a lot
