What should I be when I "grow up"?

Right now I work in Records at the Law Enforcement Center and I'm really getting into the law enforcement career. I don't want to be a police officer. I've lived with that my entire life--my dad and brother are both cops--and I've seen what it does to you, and your family. Recently I've been considering Forensics or Coroner work. Any suggestions on classes I should start taking for either fields, or other suggestions on other fields I haven't considered would be much appreciated! Thanks for your help!!! **Don't want to be a Police Officer**

1. um, my wife? :-) Can't think of anything obvious that you missed except maybe getting into law as someone else mentioned or being a mother. Those years can go by quickly I'm afraid, and some people do miss their chance and maybe even wonder where time went. I understand about not wanting to be an officer; too many people think that you think you are more important than everyone else -- or feel powerless around you so they want to get away. Also, I've heard suicide rates among police officers is high. If I were an officer, I would probably feel too subject to businesses and my department, as well as be too scared to order food in uniform. One police officer told me cops scare him, another told me she wants to get a real job (both were university officers). You seem to be someone who could work well anywhere. However, I don't know much about those fields. Have you tried Internet searches and searches for books about those fields on Amazon? You might find user reviews of different books. You seem like an efficient cool person. Wherever you go, the place is lucky. Good luck. :)) Note: Your Yahoo!
