I'm a first year student studying for my Ba(Hons) degree in English Language. I've given it a lot of thought and want to join the police force when I've finished. I know that even if I pass the application stage I will have to do at least 18 months as a probationary officer. Eventually I would like to work my way up to Detective Inspector. What I would like to know is whether this is realistic and feasible with a degree in English Language or whether I should concentrate on another degree.
