My dd had at one time considered working for the FBI as a translator. You can't apply until you're 23.

My brother is a big city police officer. He usually arrests people who have multiple prior arrests. I would not call that making a difference.

Cousin in law started out as a dispatcher and rose to the rank of captain in a town in Middlesex county.


Achieved many firsts, if that is important.


FBI, Coast guard. more gravitas with a military background. CG would be a great opportunity to serve and help. Maybe lead to med school.

I'm a retired biologist. Looking at careers available now, with her type of background already, I would look closely at Forensic Science type positions. There are so many fascinating developments, methodologies and instrumentation that have come along over the past decade in the field. To me, it's a fascinating field.
