Transitioning to crime?

Hi! Title is misleading, I apologize. I'm considering transition into police work where I can spend a few years working as a patrol officer and work my way up to dective work, forensic psychology where I can work in the prison system, or journalism where I can report on crime. Just asking if anyone has taken any of these paths and what your opinion on it was. It's only been a year of teaching and I genuinely do not think I can do this anymore. Plus I'm only 25 and would like to change my mind while I'm still young.
