If I want to get my Masters in Forensic Psychology what should I get my bachelors degree in?

I am trying to work at paying off old student loans to get back into school. My desire is to get my Forensic Psychology degree eventually. However I cannot find any reliable information on what is the best thing to get my bachelor degree in. Because I am already 23 I will most likely have to start getting into a real career after my bachelors degree while continuing my education, but I don't know what the best way to go about this plan is. I was just looking for some opinions from people who actually have experience in the fields.

I did read many times that a minor in criminal justice would be a good idea, should I do a major and a minor in bachelors degree, or in masters as well? I do live in CO if that makes any difference, I know the psychology requirements vary depending upon the sate you are in.

    Major in psychology. Criminal Justice would be a second choice, but it's more procedural and jurisprudence, and I would be concerned that you wouldn't find the material useful or necessary for your final career goal.
