Why did everyone decide on a career in law enforcement? For me, the decision was fairly easy. Both my father and grandfather were officers so I decided to follow in their footsteps.

It sounds silly when i say it out loud now, 15 years later, but Criminal Justice was the only marketable major at my university that didn't require two years of a foreign language. That said, I really am glad my fear of conjugating Spanish or French verbs led me to a satisfying and rewarding career serving my community.

Like so many others I followed in my father's footsteps. I do intend to break that chain with my children. There are lots of ways to serve ones community but in the modern age policing just isn't worth it. Poverty level wages, ever decreasing healthcare, workers compensation administration's that thrive on denying claims, shrinking retirements, chains of command that see their own officers as the enemy, etc. Need I go on?

It's sad because once upon a time this really was an honorable position where you could serve your community and raise a family. Not anymore. Now we have officers giving up living rooms so that their fellow officers don't end up homeless.

What is one of the most frustrating parts of being a scientist or researcher?

I'll tell you what it is: referencing!

You have to do so much of it, and it's so annoying. You have to cite your sources, but there are so many different formats for citations! And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
