This will be an unpopular answer, and depends on your locale a bit, but have you looked into law enforcement? If you have a decently clean background and aren't a fat fuck, there is a hiring crisis nationwide. You still get a decent pension, paid training (in most places), and depending on how you do the job, it can be very fulfilling.
Man, you may as well just tell the dude to kill himself, given what we all know about LE from this site.
What you think you know.
True. But damn, just look at LE now. The upsides are great, but one bad nigger encounter and the entire planet dogpiles on you.
I strongly suspect that one intention of all this maddness is to drive all decent people out of the police force. It's good advice.
Fuck being a cop. You deal with the dreggs of society on a daily basis and constantly have a fucked schedule.
They are limiting the size of training classes because of the fake pandemic so it takes WAY longer to get in.
Depends on where you are on the nation, in some places the machine never stopped.
Damn, I would never have considered that.
You will constantly have people assume you are the scum of the earth and hunting down black people to murder. That's the BLM narrative, they say all cops are bad. It's pretty horrible. Most cops are good. And with that said they get orders from a corrupt government so they will be doing corrupt things.
There are racist cops. There are bad cops. There are corrupt cops.
There are also many that are none of those things. There are people that truly want to make a difference, and take their oath seriously. There are departments out there that allow cops to properly do that.
It's not an easy, or popular job. But it's necessary, and there will always be people that will step up to do it. We are in one of the worst, if not the worst time for law enforcement right now, but every pendulum swings both ways.
Every day I read terrible stories about cops, and it really does give the entire profession a black eye (or worse). Every day I also read fucking disgusting stories about truly heinous crimes that people commit.
The profession isn't going anywhere. We may see it change, and in some ways it needs to. As long as there are robbers, there will be cops.
What the fuck are you smoking? Or have you lived under a rock the last 5 years..? Theres a damn good reason for the nationwide hiring crisis.
Hey, the dude asked for job ideas. I gave him an idea.
The crisis is actually because of the 08 recession. Most departments froze their hiring for anywhere from 1-5 years. Fast forward to today, and all the retirements, resignations, transfers, and firings in that time, plus a slow start back has lead large gaps in most departments. So they are getting to the point where they are falling below critical numbers to cover patrol, and are being forced to pull specialty divisions back to the street.
Add to this the current political climate, and they aren't getting the kind of numbers they need.
To be clear, every hiring event is still packed with people. Just not the correct caliber of people, as attrition is huge through each step as you go thru physical, background, psych, medical, and interview segments.
Fair enough, he did ask for ideas. However I don't think what you're suggesting is a particularly good idea. Thats my opinion though.
