This forum has been an unbelievable source of useful information, and I'm lucky I found it. I would appreciate any helpful opinions or advice.
I would like to start the process for becoming a member of the LAPD.
Things that may help me:
- B.S. in Business Management
- Several years of a variety of work experience (I am 28 years old)
- Fluency in Korean and English
Things that I'm worried might work against me in the process:
- I have lived in Seoul, Korea for my entire life and thus have no background in the U.S. No credit history, no driving record, no references except a couple of relatives in far away states, etc.
I know that the process is long and can take as much as a year, or more. I don't mind getting a job in So.Cal or somewhere else where housing is cheaper and then coming to LA for tests, etc. However, since I would be leaving behind everything I have here in Korea and moving with nothing but a suitcase to the U.S. with only the LAPD in sight, it would be hard for me to wait forever while the background investigators try to talk to my former employers who don't speak any English.
What do you think my chances are?
