Yes I wouldn't mind it, just want some advice on how best to go about it. I'm not even 21 one yet so I can't really do much but want to get started on the right foot.

I've always wanted to go into the investigation side of the job.

I went to a community college for a year with a major in criminal justice but I couldn't pay to keep going. Right now I'm in a tech school to study computers.
