Career thoughts. Need advice (self.MGTOW)

FanofLemmy が 投稿

I don't know if this is a good thing or not, and I'm looking for advice, too. Ever since it as little I wanted to become a police officer. I went and tried out for it, passed the written exams, failed the physical test due to the flu (wasn't able to reschedule for another date). I have a strong desire to want to help people and become law enforcement, or military, but I realize it's a very blue pilled, white Knight environment. Laws are obviously geared towards women, and I know if I became an LEO that I would have no choice but to follow and enforce those laws, regardless if I agree with them. The thing is, I don't know what I want to do, now. Part of me still wants to pursue law enforcement, but I have doubts in my mind now from failing the physical, and how my agency acts, and another part of me just wants a decent 9-5 job that let's me bank my money and have flexibility to do what I want to do, buy the things I want(Rickenbacker 4003, dodge challenger r/t scat pack, storm trooper replica suit and a Batman one because why not?) and be able to love comfortably. I reside in western Canada, but moved around a lot growing up, so I don't really have ties to any specific part of the country or community.

What would you guys recommend for a suitable, decent career that let's me be able to save money and enjoy my free time? (I'm thinking carpentry, roofing, construction, but I'd have to go to trades school for that. I have an opportunity to work for a warehouse company for alcohol distribution, and though about working towards my class 1 with airbrakes to drive truck for the city.)

What about law enforcement? Do you think it would be a good career choice? If not, how do you deal with the desire to become "something more" than just a regular Joe?

Edit : I broke my leg when I was 6, serial fracture from my knee down to my ankle. Extended running hurts my leg, sometimes for a day or two after. I realize law enforcement and military involves a lot of running. Maybe I'm stupid, but if I could fix the problem I would. Got new shoes, I can do wind sprints, but running more than 1km causes pain. Any ideas on how to fix or eliminate it?

Dont know you but I'm very happy with a change of career I made.

Joined IBEW and am working as an electrician. School is two nights a week sept-april.

Time to graduate varries by jurisdiction.

But once lisenced you often work for a year or so and are laid off for a few months.

Many countries have a shortage of skilled labor and pay alot to have you come over for 6mo-yr.

Money is good. Work is fun challenging and rewarding, time off is easy to get.

No need to go to trade school to become a carpenter, roofer or construction. You can do that right now, but be warned. Pay is miserable, competition for jobs is fierce, and the work is sporadic.

Law enforcement is decent, honorable work, with good job security and good benefits, but bad pay when you start out. But the problem isn't the law so much, it's the assholes, both the ones in the back of the squad car and the ones next to you in the squad car. The profession attracts a lot of people who shouldn't be there.

The main thing is to start young, because you have to pay your dues, and you don't want to be sitting in a cruiser tagging speeders and cuffing drunks in your forties. You want to get off the beat ASAP, either by graduating to lieutenant, or becoming a detective or acting as a police liaison to a school or as a bailiff. Laterally, law enforcement at a local PD is a good entry level job to many parts of state government, like gaming boards and such.

Perhaps you should look into becoming a paramedic? If you want to be of service, and you like being on the street, driving an ambulance is important, highly skilled and highly compensated work.
