Focus 2 Summary
Focus 2 suggested that I take up the job in the field of Police Science as a career due to my interest in helping others when in need. Police Science is the studies in criminology, Forensic Science, Psychology, Jurisprudence, and Criminal Justice. My self assessment is 3.00, career exploration 2.5 and career planning satisfaction 2.6 The focus 2 results did not change my mind on my career because my career is to be in the police field. I did not expect to get psychology as one of my results but that seems like another good career to have because I like to help a lot of people and that seems like a very high paying job to get into.
