Hi everyone,
I'm 30 years old and I'm a qualified Detective in the Police. I investigate serious organised crime all of which has taken a lot of training and work.
Prior to the Police I was a web developer, and I have a HND in IT & Computing. I've not really done anything with computers for a long time, so a lot of my technical knowledge has gone.
I am very close to signing up to a Top-Up course, so that my HND will become a BSc.
Potentially I may consider leaving the Police. It's an amazing job, but a long career for little reward other than job security and a pension which is good, but has over recent years been cut back and the terms changed. I don't think I want to do another 30 years of non-stop overtime and poor working conditions.
I am considering doing a course in "Business Information Systems". It's part time over 2 years.
I think I may be well suited to project management, or security management... something like that. Even without a career change, I'm still interested in obtaining a full degree, and maybe even a MSc at some stage.
Thanks for reading,
