Those are just af ew of the things... I'm just layin it all out for you. Weigh the pros and cons seriously.

Yeah, I am aware of stress...I work in tech support right now...LOL. Stress is a given with any job, but I believe that stress can be lessen by doing what you want to do.

Fear? Well, fear of someone who has nothing to live for is imminent. I am bound to come across that in this line of work. Hell, you may come across it too if someone decides to go postal. It's something no one wants, but someone has to deal with it...hence the need for law enforcement. That's why I want to be the person who can make a difference about situations like this.

Long hours? HAHAHAHA...that's also a given. I work long hours right now anyway. In fact, we are required to work 5 holidays out of the 9 for the year...HAHA...wait...that sucks So yeah...long hours and random hours won't scare me

Pay sucking? LOL....I am not exactly in it for the pay, but making $60k a year after working for a while works for me....I am bilingual and I will have a college degree...so the pay should be fairly decent.

Thanks for pointing that out. That's why I am going to seriously think about it in the next few weeks. I am probably going to talk to a few police officers about their experiences as well. Again, thanks for helping me out
