I never knew what being a corrections officer entailed until I visited Statesville Correctional facility with my class. I became interested in the job because it was a risk taking job. We only live once and going out on a limb is pretty exciting to me. After thinking and thinking, I realized that maybe that atmosphere is not for me. I say that because I am getting older and I want to start a family one day and having a risky job will not be stable for my household. I would hate to get hurt on the job and I would not want my significant other or my family to worry about me all the time. That kind of lifestyle will not benefit me; however I know there are some families it does work for. My decision was confirmed after I did a little research and watched this video as well as other videos.
The spark of my interest in this career field will forever remain, but I just feel in the long run it will not be valuable for me. Instead I will focus on getting set up in my career goal which is being a juvenile probation officer in Tennessee. I did research on this field recently, and they are in need of them. This journey is a great opportunity for me because I wanted to move there and it is just ironic they are looking for people in the field I desire.
