From the time a child enters preschool, teachers begin asking a common question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” That dreaded query has always haunted me, mostly because the way it was redundantly asked put a ton of pressure on me and my peers. The question was like a rusty nail being hammered into our head’s by society. I continuously had the cliché answers of becoming a doctor, teacher, or a police officer, but with serious reservations. After years of not having a clue, I started to think about what I like to do after the stresses of work and school were gone at the end of the day.
“The median annual pay for a nurse practitioner was $96,460 in May of 2012, which comes to $46.37 per hour” (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2012). Of course not all people in this field will make that much, half make less than that and half make more. The job outlook for this occupation is exemplary; “employment in this field is expected to grow 31 percent from 2012-2022” (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2012). This actually happens to be much faster than the average of all occupations.
You need to learn to multi-task or already be good at multi-tasking which means you need to be able to find patient charts, communicate well with the RN’s and physicians, and be able to assist the patients when necessary.

The hourly pay ranges from $10-$15 for this position (par. 5)
Registered Nurses provide patient care, teach patients about different health conditions, and provide emotional support for patients and their family members.

Ever since I was little I was extremely observant of the people surrounding me. I would watch and study their behaviors, always trying to figure out their thoughts and emotions. Recently I have realized that I could put my childhood play into a real life paying job, only instead of my peers I would get to study criminals. I don’t know much about Forensic Psychology other than the fact that I must achieve a PsyD, and I would be assigned different cities to live and work in. I want to learn about what is necessary for me to get the job, what the pay is, and what is required of me once I get the position.
I’ve always known what I wanted to be when I grew up. A tougher task, figuring out what I was going to be.
Did you know that the first private investigation agency was started by a criminal? While conducting research over this particular topic I learned a lot of interesting information regarding the type of work done by private investigators, as well as the potential employment opportunities. This world is a crazy and deceptive place and it is up to us to get to the truth of everything. Becoming a private investigator will be a time consuming, potentially dangerous, yet extremely rewarding career path. (History of Private Investigations, 2013)
In recent history, private security guards have been portrayed as “want to be police officers” or a “flashlight cops” trying to enforce laws. In retrospect, those days are over and the trends and demands of private security service have increased drastically. In most states, a certified security guard may have a higher standard of training and are better educated than most police officers or those in related law enforcement fields.
With all the computer hacking Mat executed in Overdrive I could not help but think about the television show, Person of Interest. While much of the book is about cars, if you focus on the finer details of the story you can see how everything the teenagers managed to pull off was due to the help of computers. Without Mat shutting off security cameras and alarm systems, the mission would be a total bust.
Police psychology is broadly defined as the application of psychological principles and methods to law enforcement. With the popularity of television shows like Criminal Minds and Law & Order: SVU, the job of a police psychologist has become more well known and even popular. As seen on these shows, a police psychologist can be helpful in profiling a criminal, but they also provide many other services to the members of a police department. Although the development of this field has a long history, police psychology as a separate entity is still relatively recent and growing. This intimate relationship between psychology and law enforcement can be traced back to almost a century ago.[1] It first developed out of a need for a variety of psychological services in the law enforcement field, including screening applicants and counseling during grief and stress situations. In the time that it has been around, it has proved to be a valuable resource for the law enforcement profession.
How many of you think about what you want to be when you grow up? How many see themselves as an upper class citizen in a couple of years? Are you attracted to a particular career because of the money or the adventure? All of these are questions most of us are being faced with at this point in our lives. We have to ask ourselves, would we rather have a job that we love regardless of the money, or would we rather make a ton of money but hate what we do?
On Tuesday, September 23rd, I had the opportunity to do a ride along with the Takoma Park police department. My ride along was quite interesting. I rode with Officer Carl, a twenty-six-year-old officer who has been with the police department for six months. During the ride along we engaged in so many conversations concerning his work routine, and some the important things to be aware of as a police officer. Officer Carl and I were about the same age group so I felt much comfortable talking to him. Before I went for the ride along I had a different perspective about police work, I thought police work was much amusing and entertaining, but after the ride along with Officer Carl, I have realized that there is much more to police work and it often

Planning your life out ahead of time is absolutely one of the best things you could ever do. As a child growing up, all I could ever think of was what I wanted to be when I had gotten older. Never was I a normal kid, I planned my whole life out at the age of seven. Only thing I was never sure about was the path I wanted to follow as far as a career. A police officer, nurse, dancer, doctor and singer were some of the career choices I decided when I was seven years of age. Did I know my final choice that would fit and pursue my dreams? No. Because of my unclear understanding, I’ve always had a back up plan that I could fall back on to pursue another career of interest. Now as I’m older, I still have a confused mindset on what I would like to focus more on and achieve. Truly, I have a few professions I would like to focus on and gossip about.
My dream career is to be a detective. My reason for studying or wanting to be in this career is because I want to help people find what they are looking for. I want to be able to make people smile and be happy. Another reason for me researching this career is because I think it’s a something I would enjoy doing. It’s a job I would want to wake up every morning to do. Yes there are going to be those days were I do not want to wake up and do my job but that’s part of life you have to do thing sometimes you don’t want to do such as wake up to go to school early. I have chosen this career because I like to work with people. In this career you get to work with many different people in your career field. In my career field as a detective I get to work with many people, such as the police officers, S.W.A.T team and at times the C.I.A.
