    Don't forget needing the ability to get pretty fluent in a crash course of spanish during training. If not, no job.

    Yeh, but LEO work is way more fun then teaching bad kids. I would gladly take 39k vs 45k of LEO work. I've done both in my life. Had I known when I was 21 years old law enforcement was this fun, I would have started the career 10 years earlier. I would rather hunt for MS13 in swamp for 39k, then grade homework. Somebody has to do it.

    I know two people who went with CBP, one of them is still with the agency. One was a social worker, the other one a nurse. The RN went back into nursing after a couple of years, the social worker now has 18 years or so with the agency and is a field supervisor.

    It is federal work, you may have to move around a bit to take advantage of opportunities for progress within the agency. I dont think comparing it to police work with a local county department makes a lot of sense. With a local PD, you can bank on being in one place for 20 years. With the feds, you may spend a couple of years in Grand Forks and the next 3 in Miami to be followed by a stint at Legoland on the Potomac.

    You can make a decent amount if you stay with the agency for years. My friend is close to 100k a year after about 7 years. Tons of overtime. The problem is that you can't lateral to another Law Enforcement Agency.


    Depends what part of the country

    Pretty sure most states do not recognize federal training for a substitute for state qualifications. Mainly because they aren't a "full service" job.


    Would have helped if I had read the entire link. My bad haha
