At what age did you figure out what you wanted to do for a living? And how did you do that?

From the time I was five I wanted to be a cop. When I was 23 the city of Portland advertised open applications so I put mine in. Out of 3,500 that submitted, mine was one of 500 chosen. I made it clear to the final phase of the process, the oral examination board interview, and blew it :/

@SW-User They sent me an application to join the reserves, and go through the nine month process all ovee again, I threw it in the fireplace.

@NativeOregonian Lol I’m sorry. Well that’s how you know the job isn’t for you. I hope you’ve found a better one?

@SW-User I wish I could say I did, but it took some time, then they shipped that job to Mexico after 18 months :/ After that it was shitty job after shitty job, until I got too sick to work. I'm trying for disability now, my hearing is next month.
