I remember when I was growing up my parents pushing me towards a career in government. Told me the pay was decent, good benefits, and I could earn a pension. Considering their generation, I could see why they pushed me into a government career but I am not sure things are as stable as they once were and I don’t think I want my kids to follow in my footsteps. Is anyone else still wanting their kids to find a local government job or are you pushing them into something else?

I would love for my future kids to follow my footsteps — I’m okay if they don’t make a career of it, but there’s something different about working for your fellow citizens versus just to make money and I think that’s important

My family has been in law enforcement for several generations. I myself just recently retired as a police major. However with the public sentiment towards police officers as it is today, sentiment driven by the mainstream media and on college campuses, I would not want my family in the field today. In today’s society you have prosecutors who don’t prosecute and judges who don’t hold criminals accountable. It’s become a thankless profession with the deck stacked against you.

Many people aren’t aware that since 2017, there has been and continues to be a great mass exodus of law enforcement officers across the country. Those with enough time to retire, are doing so earlier than they would have and the younger ones are moving into different professions. Currently nationwide departments are short by between 10-15%. Despite recruitment efforts, replacements for those leaving are not meeting the demand. Those that are being hired are not of the caliber of those who left. Inner cities where the need is the greatest are where the problem is greatest.

I’ve been so specialized for so long I’m not even sure how to answer this question for myself. Once upon a time I was somewhat interested in tax but I’m worried that’s where fun goes to die. I kinda dig admin law, although that’s cheating a bit because I work with a federal agency.

Calling her dark is acceptable and appreciated. I know "chocolate" comes from a place of affection, but I just can't embrace it 💯.

Tbh, I am scared. But I have set myself one year to learn something new.
I also want to go for a job that pays more (55k€ currently). I live in Paris, France, and software developers are not well paid.
Any suggestion for a career transition?
