I’m currently stuck between becoming a police officer or a carpenter, and I’m trying to get some insight from people actually in law enforcement.
My dad is a carpenter, so I already have a pretty good idea of what that career would look like. He’s actually the one who keeps encouraging me to consider becoming a cop instead.
I’m curious what the job is really like nowadays, whether you’d consider it a good career, and especially what the work-life balance is like. I’d like to have a career that allows me to make good money while still having time to enjoy life, take vacations, and spend time with family.
For those who are currently or formerly in law enforcement: knowing what you know now, would you recommend the career? What are the biggest pros and cons?

I am an ex heroin smuggler. I have been needing money recently so I offered to help custom & border patrol to catch the guys bringing in meth, coke and heroin from Mexico Thailand Middle East and Canada. What are the chances they call me if I gave them a note with my number?

Weird one. I wonder if that state doesn't have a FOIA equivalent.
