    So, would a criminal justice degree help? I know kids from my area who are now cops went to Vincennes for school.

    Not really. My dad got a CJ degree, but if he did it all over again he said he would skip college. It's not worth it to pay for a degree and get taught a lot of the same stuff in the academy. This is what I've heard from most cops.

    But is that true for advancement? Will a degree help become a detective or manager?

    I don't believe so at least at my dad's department. It will get you a $750 or $1000 bonus per year I can't remember which. I believe ISP requires a degree, but I have no interest in doing that.

    I will stop preaching right after this lol. I constantly regret not getting a degree and every day it gets harder to find the motivation to go back.

    Why is that? You always say how great of a job you have. Does not having a degree limit your advancement at this job or limit the options for a future career you'd like?
