Why does it take longer to become a cosmetologist than a police officer?

@666Maggotz ok, what about the military some of them are 17, do you trust them?

@Capt11 I think it’s depressing that, as a country, we are willing to send a CHILD to their death.

@666Maggotz i accept your point of view. I don't agree but i am glad to share this world with people who are different from me. I hope you have a great day.

@666Maggotz When I looked into it, a long time ago, they basically weren't even considering hiring someone without a degree... usually preferring criminal justice or law degree.

It wasn't an official requirement, but you had zero shot at getting hired without it.

Though again, that could be different in different areas, or different times.

@Viper it doesn’t seem that way in my area. To be a lawyer, you’re going to be in your later 20’s when finishing. I’ve met a few that came into my work that admitted to being around my age. And that doesn’t seem to appear on the NJ state requirements. So it can’t be universal. I’ve just had my experiences with useless cops and also very helpful cops. So It makes me wonder how we can weed out the useless one. Maybe stricter requirements that are held universally.

@666Maggotz Cops have a problem in that their job has power, which attracts those that want to use that power, maybe not in the right ways.

Also it's been hard getting new recruits which normally means standards are lower.

Also their job is harder, because lots of people lie to them, lots run from them and some even try to hurt them.

I took a criminal justice class, and my instructor was actually one of the police trainers whom claimed training newbies was tough, because they keep swinging to the extremes of being too tough or too lenient, and when you correct them they would swing to the other extremely as they slowly got closer and closer to dialing it in correctly.

@MarmeeMarch I know, that’s why I’m concerned about why we just let anyone in 💀 my hairdresser had more training!
