I’m thinking that they were talking about high school…

Check with the banks in your area. The bank I work for has former officers working in and running the Security department. Also check with Homeland Security or other federal agencies such as the Secret Service, FBI and NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board). You may want to reach out to Amtrak as it has its own police force throughout the country which works closely with all of the federal agencies listed above and local law enforcement. I hope this helps you target some new opportunities!

But bc I felt underpaid most of my engineering career, I want to make sure I don’t continue to be. Am I doing good? For reference I’m 34/female.
