Criminal Justice Careers Beyond the Badge — Law and Cybersecurity Paths
Tue Feb 03 2026
In this episode of Season Three, I’m joined by two Criminal Justice alumni who have taken very different career paths—one now works as a lawyer, and the other works in cybersecurity.
Together, they share insights into their respective industries, what their day-to-day work looks like, and how their Criminal Justice background helped prepare them for careers outside of traditional law enforcement roles. We also discuss the education, skills, and experiences that helped them get where they are today, along with practical career advice for students exploring options within (and beyond) Criminal Justice.
This episode is especially valuable for students interested in law, cybersecurity, criminal justice, public safety, or alternative career pathways.
