Criminology vs Philosophy

[kioku_kagami]

I've been organizing my class schedule this week and I'm torn between two courses for my winter term

i will go with Philoshopy since for me, I need someone to guide me in learning it while criminology, I can learn it by myself and reflect it from my surrounding

[kioku_kagami]

good point :)

yeah, I was thinking that phil. would be really interesting since it's china/japan, but criminology seems really cool lol

criminology ftw. In the end, it will have more job prospects and will be more interesting. Unlike philosophy where it will just be "analyse this text and write in 25000 words what it means"

[kioku_kagami]

this philosophy is on the cultures in china/japan so it'll still be interesting :) but criminology does seem to win

[supersonicjaz]

I hope you pick criminology. You won't regret it (even though I don't really know you ^^;)

hm..i would definitely choose criminology... i love asia as well...(but that's what i study in college so maybe that's why i'm not interested in that?)
anyway... trying to understand how a criminal mind works..i find it more interesting than philosophy...ok fine..i admit i was never a big fan of philosophy in high school either...

unlike yuyauw i really think that you can reflect upon philosophy on your own rather than on criminology. i think it would be more intersting to learn criminology...

then again..it's your choice...:D

hmm, I think I'm going to go with criminology. most of the people have been saying criminology so I'll go with it ^_^

glad you took a decision.^_^

I hope I'm not too late. I'm a Criminal Justice major, almost done with my bachelor's, so I wanted to share my experience with Criminology. It's one of my fave fields of study within the major and I'm planning on making my masters on it
