(3a) It can be argued that just about anyone can get a job. But, not everyone can successfully manage a career. Most people in this class are going to school, because they want careers and not just jobs. Think about what school and a career means to you. Think about the sacrifices you have already made to obtain a degree which requires investment of time and money. What do you hope to gain once you have earned your diploma?
Please respond to all of the following prompts:
- What is the difference between a police officer who views his/her position as a career and the police officer who views the position as a job?
- Does the perception of a professional occupation influence the type of behavior exhibited by a police officer? Please give specific examples.
- Does education play any role in this?
