Just don't shoot anybody!!! (in defense of the law) You could end up in jail!!
Yup... border patrol. Thats going to be a BIG growth market.
Why not go to college and finish up a degree? Your options will increase dramatically! And you have Uncle Sam to pay for it!! Take advantage of it. If you need $$, work a job. Not saying this will happen to you, but my brother in law got out of the Navy at the time of Desert Storm. Saw plenty 'o action. Then, did not go to college, and has been in and out of jobs since then. Finally landed at the Sherriffs dept. Used to love it, now hates it. Low pay and 90% of the folks he deals with hate him ('magine that).
If you must work in a place where 90% of the people hate you, become a dentist!! Pays better.
If you love the law, then go into it with a degree. I got a degree (couple of 'em) in engineering. I do not do what I studied for, but I got to choose what I did (do).
People say money is not everything, but try telling that to the grocery store clerk when you have kids and a wife to support. (or the power comapany, phone company, mortgage company, ...). Life IS too short to waste on things that will get you no where. Just 'cause you get a degree does not mean you are locked into one thing. In fact, its quite the opposite of that. Four years invested will pay back for the rest of your life.
