Non-ExampleThere is too much crime today. Maybe
by becoming a crime scene investigator I will help bring justice to crime victims. CSI is an exciting show that reveals some of what crime scene investigators do. Forensics is the use of evidence to solve crimes. Many criminals accidentally leave evidence they were at the scene of a crime. Our country has a lot of work to do to decrease crime.
ExampleI chose Crime Scene Investigation as my
major because of my love of justice, my love of science, and the benefits the career offers. I have a strong sense of fairness; I want my work to bring justice to crime victims. Since I have always excelled at science, I will be a natural at forensic investigations. Professionals in this field are paid well, get to work in the field, and advance to even better positions. These things made Crime Scene Investigation the right choice for me.
