I'm currently finishing my Criminal Justice Degree and working at Target in Assets Protection. Today my neighbor (who is a police officer) offered to sponsor me if i decided to attend the police academy. I've thought long and hard about it and I don't think I want t be a police officer. Although I would really enjoy the job I'm afraid of the impact it would have on my future family. However, I have been researching private/corporate security jobs and have heard that they can be a little more family friendly. The pay is usually better too. Also my boss at target has asked if I would be interested in moving up in the company someday. My question is, would going through the academy increase my chances for getting hired or for a promotion. I would hate to turn down an offer like that, but i really don't want him to waste the money if its not gonna do anything.
That's a good point afterglow. I'm sure that I can get proper training through whichever company I work for. The way he said it though, it sounded like he really wanted go through the academy, but you are absolutely right. Thanks
