I have a bachilor's in criminology and when I was looking for a job the light house and blind services wasn't much help because the only thing that they thought I could do was dispatch. I thought I could be a crime inteligence analis. Is that all I can do with the degree? I don't want to be a criminal attorney and I do want to work in a job that requires a bachilor's in criminology. A dispatcher does not need a bachilor's in criminology and a criminal inteligence analis does. I wanted to work for the FBI but didn't find anything I qualified for. I had to do my own research because the light house and blind services weren't any help.

Blind services aren't any help.
They could take someone with very technical know-how and want to put them on the phones, doing telemarketing, something for which that person is highly unsuited. You're best off to vote with your feet on that one.

I figured out they weren't any help way before that. I figured out that they weren't any help when they wanted me to go to a community college instead of the university I had already been accepted into. There reasoning was that the college was smaller, easier, and there were other blind students already there. I already had the GPA, SAT score, scholarships, and financial aid for the university I had been accepted too so I declined using blind services and went to the university.

You can't do anything with a bachelor's in criminology, beyond what you could do with any other 4-year college degree. If you want to focus specifically on criminology, you're going to get your Master's. If you can prove to an employer you are getting your master's, they'll let you begin work with the Bachelor's degree so long as you plan on getting those extra years ASAP.

actually, a lot of police forces will look at you with just a BA in crim. I had a friend who got a degree in crim who is working as a crime scene analyst and also did some work in organized crime seen and gangs.
Try looking on the internet, jobshop.com is a good place to start and if you go on and gtet your MA, it will open more oppurtunities for you as more of a official or researcher in the field but this, of course requires desk work and not sure your feelings on that.

I'm not a crim expert, I got a B.A. in Sociology. I had a blind friend who also wanted to work for the FBI. From my very limited knowledge of the subject, it would seem to me that a Crime Scene analyst would have to have some sight. Even a criminal profiler would need to be able to see facial expressions. Perhaps you could work in the booking area of the police station. Have you checked out any criminology boards? Perhaps if you posed the same questions you're asking here, a sighted criminologist might be able to give you a bit more insight.
