Possible career change in a couple years.
When I was younger I always thought about becoming a Police Officer. My uncle was metro in Vegas when I was living there. He would tell me all these stories that just fascinated me.
So its been in my mind lately.
Well after the new years I get to go on a ride along with Seattle PD. Its going to be set up by a Ofiicer in SPD that my girlfriend and I know. Im really nervous and excited.
Also my Uncle moved up from Vegas and is a Officer down south from where I live. So I have two ins because of them.
My only worries are leaving my current job (If I dont get laid off first) that I get paid well in and enjoy. For something that I may not like. Or pay as much.
I dont know. I guess Ill have a better idea after the ride along.

Yer ...good luck mate which ever way you jump...
Holly **** ...I think I just got an omen ...with out any bull**** , just as I was typing this, a bloody huge police helicopter just flew over my house that low it shook the whole place !!!!
Geezus , I hate that
anyway , ...
As Jules said though , before you make that decision you better be sure that you have a very good understanding of what that type of job means and you would definitely need a very keen, deep liking of the whole police lifestyle thing before you would chuck a well paid job in that you say you have and like for a career in the force mate ..
I will leave it at that ....

Narr...the freeway is only 2 min from here where they play catch the speeding drivers and they also go to the hospital landing pad 600 yds from here for emergency pickups and drop offs.. ..
No **** that photo was taken from my upper deck and they were only a few hundred feet up
I snapped this only last summer..
They were hovering almost at roof level out the back of us just staring at me .... (we are on a hill ) and they were close !
While shooting them, I thought ****, they might shoot back mate ??

CBRCRF, hopefully everything will go smooth for you and you'll make what you need to live comfortably..............but just remember its not ALWAYS about the $. aslong as you're getting by, sometimes its more important that you enjoy what you do. sounds like you're on the path to a job that will make you happy though (even if you're leaving one that already does). sometimes you've just gotta take the leap and see what happens. best of luck to ya.
