How do you guys feel about majoring in Homeland security?

[love]

i didn't even know that was a major, tbh.  guess i just assumed most people who went into TSA and whatnot were law enforcement/criminal justice majors. depending on what type of career you want, a more specialized program like that might be helpful...

from the official US Homeland Security website:

• Mission support careers involve the following fields: medical, human resources, facilities, budget, procurement, science and technology, training, intelligence, planning and coordination, detection, civil rights, fraud detection and more.
• Law enforcement careers offer positions in protection of the President, Vice President, their families, heads of state and other designated individuals; securing the nation’s borders and enforcing immigration laws; interagency law enforcement training; and enforcing economic, transportation and infrastructure security.
• Immigration and travel security careers involve protecting the nation’s transportation systems, as well as overseeing lawful immigration to the U.S.
• Prevention and response careers protect the public, environment and U.S. economic and security interests in any maritime region, as well as provide preparedness, protection, response, recovery and mitigation to reduce loss of life and property and protect the nation from all hazards are what these careers are all about.

sounds like a variety of careers with different possible backgrounds/programs of study.  it's up to you at the end of the day.  i don't think it would be impossible to get into that kind of work even with a computer science degree, but you could also try checking out internship programs for federal careers ~
