PackMom, what does he want to do with his criminal justice degree? I ask because I work for Customs and Border Protection and they are hiring CBP Officers again after a long hiring freeze. The job isn’t right for everyone, but it starts at a GS-5 or 7 (depending on qualifications) and progresses automatically to a GS-12. So in 4 or 5 years, you can go from $31,315 ($38,790 for a GS-7) to $68,809, plus overtime (capped at $30,000 per year). You can’t beat the Federal benefits, either.

PM me if you want more info and I’ll send you some links.
