What's the best major for a person who likes history and law?

I really love history and I would love to major in it, but I know that one can't do anything with it, besides becoming a historian or something. So I am looking to major in Criminal Justice or maybe Psychology. Had anyone majored in Criminal Justice? I would love to hear some feedback, especially if you went to school in Charlotte, NC (UNCC)!

I would also appreciate if you might have any other suggestions for majors...

Thanks!

Major in CJ - the opportunities for employment are endless, you can't say the same for other majors in this economy, there will always be crime.

Minor in history or psychology, I would recommend psyc as this will make your job offers even more sweet after graduation.

Contrary to popular belief, the possibilities are endless with a CJ degree, you are not confined to being a cop at all.

A lot of majors can be boring. Learning about the law and how to stay safe, what to do and what not to do, to me, this never gets boring.

You might want to explore being a Political Science major. History, Criminal Justice, Psych and Poly Sci, would all be good background for law school.

Psychology/Sociology ---> Law

Criminal justice if you want to be a great cop.
