[quote=Anonymous]The holidays are an excellent time to sit with your upcoming May graduate to talk about job prospects post-graduation. The job market continues to constrict. If they don’t already have a job offer in hand they could be in trouble.

If they want to change course and go the law enforcement route they need to start the process now, especially if they’re going to apply to multiple departments. The process is intense and takes a lot of time. Entering the process now would set them up for a summer police academy. Some departments begin paying your salary weeks before the academy, but every department pays you during the academy.

Pros:

A pension
Retirement after 25 years
Signing bonuses of $15k - $70k
Starting salaries from $70k - $90k
Overtime pay (not taxed through 2028)
Excellent health benefits (medical, dental, vision)
Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)
Continuing education leave
Tuition reimbursement 
Deferred compensation plan with match
Flexible spending account
Police now qualify for social security as of 2025

Cons:

It’s a tough job, but rewarding
Potential for long hours, but compensated
Depending on your area it can be dangerous at times
More admin work than Hollywood portrays
Your days/nights aren’t action packed[/quote]
