Ok I am 17 years old and graduating high school in canada this year. My main goal is to become a cop, however i need life experience in order to be considered as agencies here dont require college. Ive been considering my options, and university or any kind of 4 year program is ruled out. I think it would be a waste of time and money as I could be using those 4 years working or gaining experience in something else. plus it will be hard for me to pay off debts and find a good job.
i was considering going to a community college for 2 years then going into the military or even going into the military right out of high school. the canadian forces pay starts out at 30,000 US approx for a private, and increases to about 47 000 by your 3rd year. plus living on base is cheap about 300 bucks per month and free food. promotion to corporal is automatic after 3 years I think and pay starts at around 53 000 increasing to close to 60 000 after 3 years. so by the time I am 21/22 if i join after high school I could be making over 50 000 while my friends are still in school or looking for a job with their degree that only starts off at 35 000. im not looking to stay like 20 years in the army as i want to become a cop, but i want to maybe reach the Sgt rank
Now im not in it for the money. I get great benefits and get to sevre my country which is VERY important to me as a child of an immigrant. I want to serve for my country as it gavemy parents and me the oppurtunity to come and make a life here. It is also great experience from what my cousins have told me and it will help me later on in life. I am capable of getting a degree in something (so my teachers say) but I don't think it would suit me good..
