Well like my father says, it’s time for me to grow up and do the grown up thing.  I still don’t want to be a lawyer like my father but law is something I think I’ll go into.  At first I thought I would take Criminal Justice and then go to Basic Law Enforcement Training.  Then I thought I didn’t really want to be shot at or have to shoot someone else.

I have made a decision, I want to be a probation officer.  Now I’m sure my father will pitch a fit about that one because they don’t make nearly what a lawyer does but it’s not always about the money now is it?  I don’t think so but my father makes it sound that way.  As a probation officer, I just might be able to help people through the law that way.  I’m sure there’s still a chance to get shot or shot at but not as much as if I was a police officer on the streets.

I’m going to do a little more digging into it before I make a commitment and start classes.  If I take the classes online, I can still work while going to school I would think.  Like I said, I have some more checking into things before I can decide what to do for sure.  One things for sure though, I can’t see myself working here for the rest of my life but I can until I get a degree and can get another job.  Then I can tell them to ‘Take this job and shove it’.  I’ve always wanted to do that ever since I heard that song.  Did you know that David Allen Coe wrote it and Johnny Paycheck sang it?
