Criminal Justice is not a worthless degree. With Justice a bachelors. FBI make 75k-100k. Federal bureau of prison pays correctional officers 45k-110k. ATF/Dea agents make 60-110k. Department of Justice pays 60k-120k in all branch’s of government. With a masters degree you can be a prison warden, at the state level they make 70k-95k, at federal level they make 126k-189k. There secretaries make 45k-65. Federal probation officers make 45k-95k. Chiefs of police clear 110k. Criminal Justice is a six figure income if you stay away from the basic jobs. Go look for yourself on USA/jobs website.

This video is way off, I have a Masters Degree in Administration Education and I was making more than $60, 000. The most I will be making in the future will be $117, 000. I suggest Forbes checks their facts before they publish such nonsense.
