    Default Back to school

    Well, with retirement just over the horizon (7 years from August), I decided to go back to school to get my Masters, then possibly look into my options to get into law school.

    I fugure since my twp does 100% reimbursement for school, why not get my next career lined up for when i retire (i will only be 50 years old).

    Figuee, why not become a lawyer and .ake some money and not have to work 30 hours a week. I can take on as few or as many clients as I want, and my earnings will suppliment my pension (50% of my salary) which I can start collecting as soon as I retire...

    But...

    Let me tell u, I still hate school and homework.

    My best friend is an attorney. While he plays hard, he works even harder. Too hard I think. Lots of responsibility. If he forgets something, the perception would be “I lost my case because my attorney is an asshole screwup.” I’d rather handle a man with a gun call.

    Sounds fun, and lots of cops become attorneys during and after their career. Hell, our Chief is an attorney. I say do something else in retirement. Perhaps work for LEOKA. They impact a lot of officers, new & old, and save lives.

    Retirement is only 6 years away for me, if I decide to go, which I probably will unless someone turns up pregnant. And being a big-dummy, with only a diploma and few measly college credits from the Fire Department (volunteer) I don’t see myself doing anything else except turnin’ wrenches and playing golf.

    But you did say 100% reimbursement. That sounds really nice, not having a crap ton of college debt and you could do consulting or something else if you don’t like working for Dewey, Cheatem & Howe ;-)

    Your plan sounds like a great idea to get your next career option off the ground why you have the opportunity to take advantage of 100% reimbursement.

    No debt at all, and I would only do it here and there to suppliment my retirement income. Between that and all of my investments I should be able to live a pretty chill life, because its not a necessity for me to work at that point... just something to do...

    Sounds great. You’re gonna be using big words in here on us, like Worcestershire and judiciary.

    You did mention that school is an issue. The issue I would have is that it takes somewhere in the neighborhood of 7yrs to complete schooling. Finding a second career can be a challenge.

    Then that would be more inviting with ins. Then I would soul searching and continue to work towards it.
