Ahuntsic College.

I finally finished my four-years program at Ahuntsic College in criminology. I am currently working in a youth center, so I already have a foot in the field. But what should I do next? Part of me feels ready to dive deeper to explore new roles within the justice system, maybe even apply to university in the bachelor in criminology. Which could open more doors for me. I have gained valuable experience supporting vulnerable youth, and I've learned real life intervention is far more complex than anything taught in class. Do I stay where I am and grow within this environment, building strong relationships with the youth I work with? Or should I challenge myself further and do a bachelor's degree in criminology? Should I deepen my experience where I am or take the leap and pursue something greater?

Choice 1 : Youth center

Choice 2 : Bachelor in criminology

Youth center.

If I choose to stay at the youth center, I know the impact I can make won't just be theoretical. It'ill be personal, real, and immediate. I'll continue building trust with the youth, many of whom have faced trauma, abuse or abandonment. My criminology backgrounds at Ahuntsic College will allow me to understand their behaviors through different lens, not just seeing the symptoms, but the root causes. Over time, I might take on more responsibilities, like coordinating intervention plans, working closely with social workers, or even mentoring new employees.

Choice 1 : Ahuntsic College.

Bachelor in criminology.

If I decide to pursue a bachelor's degree in criminology, a new world of opportunities could open for me. University will deepen my theoretical knowledge and give me a stronger foundation in areas like criminal law and justice policies, deviant behavior. I'll be able to connect with professors, researchers, and students who share my passion, and possibly participate in research projects specialized in criminal profiling, policy analysis, or rehabilitation programs. With a degree, I could apply for higher-level positions like caseworker, probation officer. The academic journey won't be easy, especially balancing studies with social life or part-time work. Choosing university means choosing to challenge myself, expand my career options, and step into leadership roles that shape the future of our justice system.
