I was an Arizona State Police officer, (DPS) In the 70's. I was stationed in Nogalas and Tucson and was 20 years old! Had guns pulled on me 3 times and a knife pulled on me 1 time in my first year! On the Mexican border I felt like I was going to War every day! I took a leave of absence to follow a french model to Europe. During the leave I got rammed into by a runaway car (mine, my 2 year old daughter was driving it!) and pushed, full throttle, into a parked truck. I had 5 operations so that I could walk reasonably well. I couldn't pass the physical to get anything but a desk job back on the force. But, being part of the DPS was one of the things that I am proudest about in my life.
Whatever you do, good luck. The best advice is to pursue a career that you are passionate about.
