 Being a police officer is one of my dream jobs because I want to help keep the city safe. Being a police officer to me is one of the best jobs you can get, because you can help people out and help people of the city out by keeping bad people off the streets. So, being a cop is one of my favorite jobs to do.

 Some values is that you can help people and the city, while keeping people off the streets.  Some responsibilities is that you have to pay attention to people to see if they are breaking the law, you cant just let people run wild  Being a cop, you work with people and you deal with a bunch of people, so you have to keep your composure, while keeping people safe.  The work environment for a cop can be great or poor, depending on the city you work for, where I want to go, Detroit, is not the best area.  The working hours depends on when you like working, it could be the whole day, or all night. I personally want to work in the night hours.  Some abilities would be you would have to be in shape, good with a gun, and you would have to be stable enough to help out kids and others in need.  Education and training is you need to go through a 4 year university, and train in the police academy.  Salary and benefits are that every year you can make 49,000 every year, so ten years later you would have 490,000.  Career outlook is that you can serve and protect for your city and state, and help people out.

 The lifestyle of a cop isn’t too bad. You might have to work on major holidays, and you get paid a lot. It’s one of my dream jobs because you can help people out, while keeping people safe. So all in all, being a police officer sounds like a great job, even though sometimes it might be depressing, seeing murder cases, kids dying, adults dying for nothing. So, it might have it’s moments, but its still a good job.

 As a police officer I would like to work in Detroit, because it seems like a difficult place to work, and the city needs extra help.  It falls under the law enforcement job category, obviously.

 Tow truck driving in my opinion would be a great job to have. You get to drive around and pick up cars who are parked illegally, or that have just been there for too long. It would be a tough job because you would have to deal with people, that might be looking for trouble, because nobody wants their car to be towed. So, it would be a fun job with many bumps in the road. People would try to hassle you into not taking their cars from them, so it would be a lot of headaches.

 Some values for tow truck driving are you get to help keep the streets clean, and show people not to illegally park.  Some responsibilities are you have to keep your composure when people try to tell you off, don’t let them get to you.  As a tow truck driver, you work alone basically, but you deal with random people and they try to hassle you, so you have to deal with that professionally.  The work environment wouldn’t be too bad, because you’re just driving, so if you keep your truck clean, you’ll be okay.  The working hours depends on when you work, if you work at night, you’ll probably work through the night, and stuff along that line for daytime hours also.  Abilities you would need is you have to know how to drive, obviously. You have to be good with people.  Training you would need, is learning how to drive and use a tow truck.  Salary and benefits is around 49,000 a year. You get vacation time, depending on who you work for.  Career outlook is you make around 49,000 a year, so after 10 years on the job you would make 490,000

 The lifestyle of a tow truck driver is long working hours, expect 49,000 yearly, and there might be days where you don’t ever leave your truck, so you have to be prepared for all of that, if you’re not, then tow truck driving isn’t for you.

 The location depends on where you want to work, in metro Detroit, there are probably a lot of cars that need towing. So Detroit is probably a great place to go for it. It falls in the transportation category, obviously.
