Has anyone ever been able to pivot from corrections officer to another career? I kind of fell into this after having a tough time in college, and I'd like to see what else is out there. What job would use some of the same skills as a corrections officer, but isn't policing/defense/incarceration work?

Did you end up getting your degree? If so, apply to Booz Allen. We have some non-tech roles at DoJ and other departments/agencies that might be a good fit, but the Bachelor’s degree is a basic qualification for most roles at BAH.

Hi there, if you are multilingual, you should try with DHS.

The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
