I am currently a lvl 3 security guard who is about to start the academy in Texas one month from now. Any advice for someone with little to no experience in LE and how to prepare myself academically and mentally?

Thank you for in advance for any type of advice!

Apply to federal law enforcement agent positions. You are also very qualified for overseas positions in protective service as well. Explore options even though you are going into another position.

Buy quality running shoes. They will be worth it. Set your mind that you will not get to much interested things until after a lot of physical tuning up.

Taking my shot in tech sales. Consulting was great experience but enjoyed the relationship and BD aspect more and didn’t see myself climbing to partner.

But I’ll regret it forever if I didn’t take my chance now when I’m still single and young-ish.

I’m having trouble working in Tax. I’m overwhelmed and am feeling like I’m not producing my best work. I want to talk to someone at work about it but a) I don’t know who to go to and b) feel like it’s not worth it because there’s nothing that anyone can do but tell me to get a different job. I feel like I SHOULD say something to someone though, right? Idk. I’ve been on the job hunt for a while now and am not really having any luck, which is just adding to my despair. What should I do?
