You planning on Law Enforcement? If so, have you thought about other degrees? Business admin would be a wonderful career booster and would give you something to fall back on. Criminal Justice degrees are not as helpful as one would think in LE.

My ex-wife is a ICE agent and has a Masters in CJ. She wishes it was in ANYTHING ELSE.

Food for thought.

Good luck. You are about to embark on a journey in the coolest career ever (IMO).

Hours of paperwork for seconds of stuff that makes you say... "they pay me to do this?"



I will walk out the door of the police department with about 30 years on and should have a PhD under my belt, paid for by the department. I'll probably become a full time academy instructor with my department when we finish our facility. Part time firearms instruction as a side gig off duty. When I retire, I'd like to be a teacher. I may pick up a JD along the way, time permitting. I have 25 years to squeeze it in.

I'm a "Web Content Manager" at AT&T on the business side. That means that daily changes to the site go through me. It also means I heard developers (which truly is like herding cats!) Really, it's a boring job, but it pays the bills for now.

And no, I don't know anything about the next iPhone and I can't get you one for free or a discount. They don't tell me anything here till about 4 hours before the public sees it :P

I'm currently thinking about going back to school to change careers, but I'm not sure what I want to do. I'd like to do some traveling. The biggest road block is having too many bills to pay to switch jobs

Well, this mostly is because I work with several different groups who all work on different parts of the site. Getting them all to work together is kind of like getting a bunch of cats to all voluntarily take baths together...

One on one, however, they're a great bunch of people

I'm a Project Manager a Public/Municipal/Govt/ General Contractor. I was laid off during this economy since Thanksgiving! But I start this new job Tues! However I was contacted by the Civil Service Nassau County as well. So I take the test on the 30th-Good thing it's on a Saturday, so that works out for me! I'd rather the second opportunity cuz I'll be set.

I spent a large part of my life as a carpenter/homebuilder. I ran my own company for over 15 years. I kinda quit doing that on doctors orders. (Thrashed my knee from all the roofing, good money but hard on the body) I say kinda, because I still piddle here and there for good friends and family.
I took a CDL course a couple years ago and started driving a semi for CAT hauling parts for the big yellow during the week. (home every night) I hauled fuel on the weekends part time for a small local company.
I got laid-off from Cat in march and quit hauling fuel in April.
I now collect unemployment & rent checks from my rental houses.
Thats it.
Im currently trying to get a job at the hospital delivering medical equiptment.
Pays great with awesome Insurance.

I'm a retail store manager, but my background is in I.T. (help desk, system admin). I've had a hard time looking for a job in my field ever since i graduated a year ago, I have to keep at it and be happy with what I got for the moment to survive in this economy. Like Kim (i think), my wife was also caught up in the mortgage market (HSBC) and was laid off.

i think there was another job-related thread floating around that i replied to but missed this one.

i'm currently an electronic's technician working for ITT/Manu Kai at the Pacific Missile Range Facility, a Navy base supporting a large air, surface and sub-surface range that extends north-westward off the western coast of kauai. we simulate war threats to train all branches of the military, U.S. and allied. i work on the NTDS, Naval Tactical Data System in support of range operations, Link-11/Link-16, S-TADL J etc. we've also done some ballistic missile defense testing too. i've been doing this since 2006. by trade i'm an aircraft maintenance technician, and had been working on a fleet of H-3 helicopters here for the past 23 years. gov't. did away with the naval aviation section and now contract out range air support.
changing gears this late in the race was...challenging to say the least, but am thankful to still be working on the base.

I work at a Honda dealership selling parts, I also sell Nissan parts. I do the retail counter at Honda and sell wholesale and internet parts for both.

In school for Advertising/Marketing and Photography.

My wife supports my habit even more, lol. She allowed me to get a bike and is the money maker of the house as a bank manager and has a degree in Psychology/Sociology.

Joined the Royal Australian Navy at 15 yrs 9 months (thats not a misprint) in October 1977. Did 7 and a half years as Communications/Electronic Warfare operator on little ships (destroyer escorts). Had some great times and visited the U.S and Canada for the first time, a love affair that the years have not diminished.

Left the navy in February 1985 to marry the woman I love, which I did in 1986 and we are still together 23 years later.

Started work with QANTAS (the Australian national airline) in June 1985 in the international cargo section. I have a customer service role there and after 24 years last June I still enjoy it (although as I get older the harder it gets to get out of bed at 0250 for those early shifts!). I love the interaction with people from different parts of the world, I've learnt a lot over the years.

We get to do a lot of varied stuff, we handle just about everything you can think of to send by air, from people's dogs and cats throught to mining equipment and anything in between, it's never a dull day. We used to handle the the Champ Cars and IRL cars when they came to the Gold Coast for the Surfers Paradise 300, and we also handle the Australian Touring Car circus (our equivalent of NASCAR/Trans-Am) when they go overseas which enables me to get all those close-up photos no-one else can get undisturbed.

I do software QA for Schlumberger, but I'm hoping to move into an interface design/usability position soon. I've been with the company 3 years (came straight out of university). In the evenings, I teach piano lessons.

The day job is the necessary evil so that I can afford to buy a bike, etc. The side job is actually enjoyable.

I'm the Head of IT for an Environmental Engineering firm of about 150. (READ: an army of one). Everyone has always said getting a bike on Long Island is insane. It is significantly higher risk than most areas but, you only live once. Snowboarding is my major $ black hole. The bike is actually one of the cheaper of my hobbies. Anyone burdened with a trust fund need relief from? I would be happy to assist.
