I think that I would make a really good parole officer, therefore doing something along the lines of a parole officer is my goal for school. I haven't read up on it yet but I am not sure if being a parole officer requires me to go to a police academy and become a police officer first. I'm guessing yes because the title has the word "officer" in it. If that is the case, assuming that I can become a police officer (from what I learned in my police community and society class becomng an officer is very exclusive and difficult to achieve) I need to go to a police academy. I think that I will wait until after college to do this, as opposed to going during a summer.
It's likely though that I will not even be able to serve as a police officer because I have been diagnosed with depression and am medicated for it. Even if my depression somehow dissappears and dealing with life gets easier, I think that it is a point against me because the background checks are naturally really intensive.
If not, I'm sure I have other options. Hopefully I will be able to find some of those options once I start doing my community service for my social welfare class.
