For my first profession I chose is a New York City Police officer. For this career I will need sixty credits or an associate’s degree. If I wanted to become a sergeant or a captain I would need eighty credits or a bachelor’s degree. This job consists of many dangers. Police officers are constantly being faced with the unknown and the unpredictable. They never truly know the outcome of any situation they enter into. This job will also consist of contact with all kinds of people every day. The starting salary for a New York City Police officer is around forty five thousand dollars a year and increases with time and bonuses. You can also work a lot of overtime which can bump up your salary at the end of the month In order to become a police officer I can have any degree, but if I wanted to advance in this career I can get a degree in social science, criminal justice or criminology. There are many schools in the New York area that have these degrees such as john jay in the city, Nassau community, and also Albany university but john jay is known to be the best college to study criminal justice in the tri state area . The person I am interviewing is my father, my dad said it entails of being in danger every single second on the job especially cause he works in south Jamaica queens, it also consists of helping people every day in all different ways either if it’s trying to find the man who robed someone or even if its just giving an old man a ride home.my father had gotten his education in the air force . he was in the air force for 9 years . a typical day at his job is dealing with criminals and arresting them everyday. He also has to deal with telling parents that their son is in jail or in the hospital . my fathers dislikes about his job is that he sometimes has to respond to terrible accidents, and murders and see young kids die in a gun fight. His likes about the job is he loves helping people with their problems and aslo keeping the city safe by putting criminals in jail. Being a police officer is the job that intrestses me the most because It consists of helping people and keeping people safe day in and day out and I love to help and keep people safe. I will get their someday by graduating from Nassau community college or a four year school studying criminal justice. I will study for the test a lot this week because I am taking it next week and I am very excited about it .
