GOATSLAYER 06/15/17 1:16:21 PM #1:	I'm thinking about applying to the police academy or becoming an FBI agent in the future. I've always been interested in law enforcement and it seems like it would be very interesting. I'm just worried that it might be too dangerous or that it might take up so much time that I wouldn't be able to spend time with my family and friends. Is there anyone on here who can tel what it's really like to be involved in these types of careers? --- Hide your kids, hide your goats <cite>GOATSLAYER posted [p:881163726] in Is it wort...

I think with FBI there's a lot of security clearance you have to acquire, which means they will dig extensively into your background and personal life. Becoming a regular police officer first seems like a logical step if you want to join the FBI some day. I did more research after making this topic and I came to the conclusion that it's better to be a cop than to join the FBI. The recruitment process for the FBI is very long and I started thinking about how FBI agents can get called away from home for long periods of time, the fact that you don't have much of a choice about which office you get assigned to and how much dangerous it is than regular police work.
