...hire young applicants?

I am currently a college student at USF and have completed 45 credit hours so far, and currently have a job as a security guard at Target (the "bad" one on fletcher). I also got accepted to the Florida highway patrol aux but the process is taking so long (we finished our first responder classes last march and havent done any training since).

I was going to wait until I was out of college and apply to the big depts of florida (TPD, HCSO, OPD, OCSO, FLPD etc) but now I am considering just applying for a smaller dept now and either become a part time student at usf/ucf or just forget about school all together for the time being.

My main question is, are there any depts in the central florida area that hiring, and would hire someone with my qualifications? Also, I would like to apply ASAP. I know that I dont have any previous exp. or a degree, but I did go through the same application process as FHP (polygraph, background check etc).

Smaller depts are fine with me...

Well, may I suggest UCF PD? Great dept and growing with excellent education benefits. But also there are quite a few Muni. depts in central fla that hire young (qualified) applicants.
