RE: Conservation Officers??
In Mississippi, it's all about who you know and how high up they are. Very policitcal field to get into. I will not say it's "elite" because I believe EVERY field in law enforcement is as necessary as the next. I do drug interdiction on a major interstate and don't consider my job any more "elite" than a patrolman or dispatcher. Whether your a county mounty(deputy), city kitty(city cop), or smoky bear(highway patrol) you still wear a badge and gun. Just remember, you have the most responsible job in the world. Treat it as such. You carry a gun that'll take husbands from wives, daughters/sons from parents, and moms and dads away. However, sometimes it is needed. Be careful and enjoy the field, I know I am. I am getting out of law enforcement at this present time. I'm going to school to be a teacher because I'd like to be a football coach. I can't, however, see myself EVER getting out of this field entirely. Once you get started you'll love it.
