No, almost any random job I could do in the area would have better hours and more pay than being a police officer. Also, the police in my area do not have the best reputation, I don't need more of a reason to be disliked by people.

I used to think being a detective would be cool.

they don't usually get paid that well? At least you don't need a degree

I was a cop for a couple of years. Wouldnt be eligible to be one here though. Was also barred from being one in the county I grew up in.

Why would I want to work somewhere that pays even less.

I couldnt be one where I am now because Im the wrong nationality.

I applied to be one in the area I grew up in but my application was turned down as they felt I would have a conflict of interest due to familial associations with people involved with organised crime in the area. I was politely asked to not apply in that county again. In fairness, it wasnt a bad shout.

It wasnt exactly as refined as the mafia, but they were part of a criminal organisation, yeah.

idk, i kinda don't agree with it. It was them, not you. That's like blaming you for a crime your brother did

It wasnt meant to be a punishment and they werent accusing me of doing anything wrong. It was more that they knew that if I was operating in that area I would be put under more pressure than the average copper to do things I shouldnt be doing.

When I applied in a different part of the country, it was not a problem getting in.

Depends on how you define my area. Some cops get to chill by the courthouses and are always just saying hi when I pass by. That, I would most definitely do.

On the other hand there are the ones that have to handle the insane drugees who attack people not too far away. I really wouldnt want to deal with the anxiety that comes from knowing that someone might jump me at any moment.

But as long as my current job will have me, Ill never leave, because its the most relaxed job Ive ever had and probably will have.

Nothing about being a cop appeals to me in the slightest, and even if it did, I have way too many issues with the american legal system to want to be a part of it.

I still don't get your point. 50k is not impressive. There are more jobs in my area that pay more than that.
