Should i get a degree in sociology or public administration?

i plan on becoming a cop one day but i'm not sure what my degree should be in. which one of these two would involve less reading(reading and math are my weaknesses)? which one is considered more difficult(i plan on going to cal state fullerton)? thanks to all who answered.



go with what ever you feel comfortable with... when you start college, try taking classes out of both majors and see which one you like better..... or you could major in one and minor in the other that way you get experience in both.




From my experience:





Do not go the easy way out. Maybe you won't end up being a policeman. Stuff happens. Will you be stuck with a degree you can't use to find a job?





You say reading and math are difficult for you. That's pretty much the basis of all academic education in America.





Physical Science: Language, Math


Computers: Math


Politics: Language


Nursing: Language, Math


Law: Language


Accounting: Math


Business:





Well, maybe not everything requires knowledge. The point is if you want a useless degree that won't help you, take stuff like sociology or public administration. There's still a lot of reading involved though. But if you want something to fall back on pick something that you know you'll struggle with more but the reward is better.




Why don't you major in criminal justice? I know that's the necessary degree in order to be a police officer. Don't just do something to get a degree, study what you are interested in and what's going to prepare you for your job.




Both involve a lot of reading. I would think that sociology would be more applicable to being a cop.
