Ok, so I'm SERIOUSLY considering a move from one underpaid profession (military) to another underpaid profession (police officer). There's not a huge market for IT jobs in my area and I've always wanted to be either an Elementary Math Teacher or a State Trooper. SO... I'm considering a leave from the IT field and move into law enforcement. I'm really quite tired of the IT field... it's not challenging enough for me. Too much sit and wait! I'd say the biggest problem is that I'll have to go to the academy for 21 weeks, at just over $1100 bi-weekly while in class, I'd probably spend a good amount of my savings just to stay out of debt. My wife told me I should go for it! What are you guys thoughts?
