Hello Everyone; I'm looking to start my law enforcement career at the start of next year after I graduate at the end of this year. However, I'm thinking about continuing my education instead. What do you all think? Is that a comprehensive option even though I never experience being a police officer? Or is the other option?

What's your education in? if you get a master's degree, I would make sure that your future career will actually require a master's degree otherwise it will end up being a waste of money. Soemtimes it's also good to get some work experience before continuing your education anyway.

I'm in college and will finish with an Associate degree this year.

I think that depends on you. Sometimes getting an education prior will get a better-paying job however sometimes getting a job first allows more experience and sometimes work will pay for your education.

True. Thank you for your response!

It's up to you. If able, you go ahead with your plans of working in law enforcement and during your free time continue your education. Good luck!
