Possible Career Change...

so i just want to say i always wanted to be lw enforcement... my Great Uncle was LAPD, and started a division called the "Gangster Squad" and my dad is a Vietnam Era Vet and was D.O.D... so i have a family history a mile long of Law Enforcement...

Anyways...

i was pulled over today by Hwy Patrol for a cracked windsheild which he was cool and just gave me a warning... but we were talking and he said that there were 40 openings for the first time in 4 years...

now i planned on becoming Hwy Patrol or sheriff dept. before HS... i took Criminal justice and rid-a-longs yadda yadda...

so what im asking is with all the great benifits, great pay, great retirement and i get a personal car! how bad *** is that!

now i will not stop doing my car stuff as its a passion of mine... but with everything i would gain i could get a shop built and be able to not sweat month to month...

what do you think?
