r/EmergencyManagement 2d ago

Help! Looking to start a Bachelor’s in Science program and I need advice.

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, I am investigating 2 programs. One at Columbia Southern University and one at Purdue University. They both have their merits. I have been trying to decide between either Emergency Management with a focus in homeland security, or Forensic Investigation. The thing about Forensic investigation is that there aren’t many jobs out there, and those that are currently in those jobs will likely retire in those positions. The jobs are really not there for many reasons. I realize that this career is likely at large amount of time preparing for disasters and being ready for what could happen. I am OK with that. The truth is I know I can make it through school. I just need to know that it is possible to succeed with bachelors degree and make a career of this at 49 years old. Please be honest (please don’t be mean) I am just trying to make the best decision to help move forward with this decision.

Thank you
