I posted this in another tread but i'll try this board to get a few more results hopefully
Im 36 and i graduated from a LE program in Mn passed my post exam and ready to go. The cop jobs in Mn are very competive so its been a struggle over the last year. I started working security at a hospital that acually pays well and good benefits ($15-$20/hr it also has the same pay structure as LE double time on holidays with double time and a half in certain situations and endless amounts of goodlooking nurses:).We also carry tasers and batons and rumble often with drunks and psych's. Im also a reserve on my local pd for 5 yrs now which i love doing, were very busy with lots of war stories for the reserves.
IM now just wondering if i should continue my pursuit in LE and deal with stress and all the responsibilities and all the other issues that come with being in LE.
I really love being a reserve and with my security gig at the hosptial its like best of both worlds kinda thing. The thing that bothers me is that I spent alot of money and put alot of work to make it through school and all the tactical training only to work in security? I wonder if im just settling or limiting myself?
