I wanted to be a police officer.
Then, as I grew older, I wanted to be a homicide detective specializing in cold cases because I feel like those victims are often forgotten.
After I got my B.S. in law enforcement, I decided to pursue an M.S. in Anti-terrorism and counterintelligence studies. I had planned to move to the Langley area and try to get on withthe CIA, DIA, or some other intelligence agency to be an analyst or a case officer.
Long story short, I fell in love where I was born and raised and never left.
I do surveillance for the gaming industry now, and we do a lot of both law enforcement-related work and a whole lot of intelligence work. So, I'm kind of doing what I wanted to do, only not for the US Government, which is probably a good thing right now.
It sounds like the job you got was a lot better. You get to do what you wanted without having to worry so much about getting hurt on the job.
