I have a lot of ambition and passion to be the best that I can be. My dream is to become a Police Officer, yet I also have a talent for academics and medicine. I will be 21 years old before too long and would like to know what others think. I was born and raised around Police and have what seems to be an innate ability to be a police officer. My immediate goal is to become a Paramedic. I love the medical aspect of being a Paramedic. Medical and Legal investigations intrigue and motivate me to solve the problem. Is the medical journey satisfying enough for me to take that route? My biggest worry about that route is time. Time for family, friends, and love. Or must you revoke all that time until the end? be a doctor. I don't understand why you would hesitate to become a doctor. If you have the intelligence for a PhD, you will go CRAZY on a police force. The paperwork, the low-brow humor, the daily grind....I think you would be insane to set your sights so low. The skills required for the two professions you are interested in are widely different. A police officer requires an 'inspector' attitude where you are following rules. A medic is problem solving by applying knowledge and experience. Which of these ways of being is more like you? You will need to decide what you are best at and what really motivates you before taking the decision to go into the police force or medicine. You might consider doing forensics but you will need to know beforehand that you can work within that kind of evironment - try to speak to some practitioners to get a feel of what is involved in reality. Docs dont get kill that much.... |
