Back to school

[popo8]

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.

Sent from my Commodore64, excuse typos & brevity.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...

LTXtech.com is my drug...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.

With 100% tuition reimbursement why not? Plus with your background you'd be a good candidate for Law School I'd think.

First off, congratulations to you for working so hard to get yourself into a position to retire so early. I'm definitely jealous.
About the lawyer thing, if you can see yourself doing that go for it, especially with 100% reimbursement. But if you see school as a potential "issue" why not look into another related field?
I don't know........maybe a private detective? Or something along those lines. You can still work for yourself and still pick and choose what jobs you would want to take on. And you definitely have the background for it.
Just my .02.

Sent from my VS501 using TapatalkAlso, I didnt really put myself in any position... thats law enforcement. Many departments are 20 or 25 years of service for full retirement.

Here we just happen to be 25 years of service, must also be 50 years old to collect my pension... well since I got hired at 25 years old... both will hit at the same time.

That's real nice! Mine is set up on a 30 (years of service)/60(age). I won't be very ambitious to do much when I retire. 50 is still young.

You're a shoe-in for law school in my opinion. Definitely go for grad school now. It does not suck nearly as much as the undergrad courses. Best of luck and awesome you're looking forward!
