Even though what you are wanting to do is competative, if you want it bad enough and stick with it you will be successful. You just need to do your part and dont give up and persue it untill you finally get to where you want to be. Im in my last year of Conservation Law Enforcement and it to is very competative, but that doesnt discourage me because it is all I want to do with my life. I will do what ever it takes because I really want this job and am willing to do whatever it takes. Keep your head up, and good luck.
