do what you want, but know the consequences if you do
ie you may do a crimonology degree an become second rate to law students,ie law students entering the police force would be picked over you
you cannot make a decision without all the relevant facts
if i was u i would do a vocational degree, ie nursing , town planning(has some law), architecture(most work heavy course by far), quantity surveying(pay is same as engineer with half the work!!), geology, etc there are thousands of suitable courses
