Engineering vs Criminal Justice?

So I’m a Junior and will be graduating high school next year, but I still can’t seem to choose a career path. I’ve narrowed it down to two choices: Engineering and Criminal Justice.

I’m intrested in engineering because you get to make stuff. I’m leaning towards aerospace, architectural, and civil engineering. I’ve had a drafting class in middle school (creating buildings on the computers and the whole 9 yards) and it seemed great. Also I’ve talked to a few people (who are engineers) and they loved the job.

Also I’m intrested in Criminal Justice. I’m currently taking a law class and it’s by far the one of the top 2 classes I’ve ever taken (the other was the engineering one). I’m not exactly sure which field in Criminal Justice but I like Police work such as a Detective, stuff that I don’t have to stay in the office all the time. However I’m intrested in the court room too, such as the judge but not really being an Attorney.

What’s everyone else’s opinions on this?
