Is it worth to get a master's degree in criminology?

Short answer: No. There is absolutely no job that requires an MA in Criminology. The only thing this degree is useful for is a bridge to the PhD. Criminology is a completely academic field - not practical, such as Criminal Justice. But that's another useless degree you don't want to get me started on. I have a BA in Sociology. There are so many ways I could have taken this. I knew I wanted to go to Graduate School, but nearing my senior year I didn't know what field to study. I chose Criminology because I knew it would be interesting and I liked behavioral theory. Now I have an MA in Criminology. Yes, it was interesting. But completely useless. Don't get me wrong- I have a decent job. I am a children's therapist. I don't really like it, and I never feel adequate, because I have no educational background in this area. The job required a Master's degree in a behavioral sciences field, which Criminology is considered, so I got hired. However, I had no background on diagnoses, interventions, and child development. These are things I had to learn along the way. I've been doing this for 4 years, and the entire time I've been searching for something better. The hours are terrible and pay isn't that great. I am a little 'stuck' because there isn't any other jobs in my area (central PA) that would pay as much as I make now doing anything else I'm qualified for. If I could do it all over again - and wanted to pursue mental health - I would have gotten my Masters in a 'licensable' field, such as Counseling, Social Work, or Psychology. There's really no point to go any other way. If I was SO into Criminology that I just HAD to pursue a Masters in this field, I would have recognized earlier that I needed to go all the way - get the PhD - and become a professor. There's simply no other reason to pursue the MA in Criminology. However, with student loans being as they are and already way over my head in student loan debt, the PhD is NOT an option for me. To make a long answer short: If you aren't planning on pursuing the PhD, an MA in Criminology is not worth it. If you are interested in pursuing graduate work, here is my suggestion: check your local classified and open job postings. Find the job you want, and look at the necessary qualifications for that position. I wish I had done this before pursuing an 'interesting' degree.

What does it take to pass a pa hand gun background check?

Well, remember when you were in the 5th Grade, and your teacher told you THIS was going in your permanent record? Not really :} The background check typically insures that you ARE a resident of PA, that you have not been adjudged mentally incompetent, that you are not wanted for a crime NOW, that you have not been convicted of a felony or crime of domestic violence, and are not under a restraining order. Some states will also look at past convictions of such things as DUIs that are recent- they feel that has a bearing on your conduct in other matters.
