Greetings,
Here is my situation to make a long story short:
I am 21 years old and have tested with 3 different agencies in California.
First agency: Passed written, passed oral, was invited to go into backgrounds but delcined because I had already been hired by second agency.
Second agency: Passed written, physical agility, oral, background, lie detector, medical, psychological, hired. Only person hired out of pool of approximately 300.
Third agency: Passed written, physical agility, oral, currently in "elgibility pool."
Well, I was in the academy but resigned. At 21 years old, I didn't feel ready whatsoever. I know I could have gotten through the academy, but I would have been doing myself and my department a disservice. I just wish I would have come to that realization before I actually got hired.
My background is squeaky clean, my grades are pretty good (associates degree +/- 3.0 GPA), I have 2 years experience working in law enforcement in a civilian position, and plan on pursuing my bachelors degree starting next fall.
I eventually want to get back into LE eventually, possibly in 5 years or so. Should I even bother or did I seal my fate by resigning? Honest opinions are much appreciated.
