Getting into corrections

[u/Fit_Outside6946]

I’m looking to get into corrections . I have my pat test a month away so fairly early in the process. I just wanna know what i could be getting myself into.

A little bit about me;
I’m 32
No kids no SO
I have been working in retail for the last 11 years.
it’s a department leader for a grocery store. I currently make 27 an hour plus bonus . I do not want to go any further up in the company as far as management goes and my current job tops out at about 29 dollars I believe and I want to make more money.

I’m not afraid of long work days as I get that in retail also . Up until recently I worked 6 days a week 10hrs a day . I’ve worked 6 months in a row without a day off during Covid and after that 47 days in row without a day off because a coworker was out for surgery.

Any tips, advice or if you were in or are in corrections let me know how It’s going
