So I have some decisions to make. I’d like to ask those of you with some tenure as LEO’s for some insight into some questions I have about becoming an officer and the lifestyle that comes with it.
Do you enjoy your work, most of the time?
Is the ability to advance and take on greater responsibility or leadership roles dependent solely on merit or is seniority a big factor?
Is there anything you dislike about being a LEO?
What is the best thing about your job, honestly?
Do you have enough time off to yourself for family / vacation / travel or whatever you like?
Does the pay fit the job?
Any answers would be very helpful to me. I am making a really tough decision here and if the cost of going to law school wasn’t so high I’d do it in a second. I guess I pursued both careers and now that I have to pick one, I’m left wondering what I actually would prefer to do. Enjoying what I do is the most important thing at the moment but there are so many things to consider and many factors that may pull me in one direction or another. Any thoughts or insight into some of these questions would be very helpful and appreciated.
