i am currently in college and i am think about join either doing one of the following:
1. join coast guard as a law enforcement officer
2. join the air force as a sf officer
3. try to get in the DEA
4. join the nj state troopers in one of their specialized branches
a major factor for the two military jobs i listed is i hear officers in the military ride desks all the time so if you can tell me if this is true for the two jobs i listed for the services. i don’t mind some desk work but constant desk work i cant handle. but if i where to join i want to know that i will be able to do field work and do some field work for example coast guard LE office, go out on patrols and board vessels. Or another example SF officer, go out on convoys or something of that nature. Cause with a degree i could get a better paying job than an a military officer and i want to know im sacrificing that for a exciting experience (i know it wont be all the time but some times)
any information will be greatly appreciated, thank you.
i am currently getting a degree in criminal justice
