I chose this career as a chance to serve my community while working in a field that aligned with my passions and interests. Novelty is something that can keep a person fresh in their career. There are many different assignments you can work, which I did, as an investigator, in the classroom with students, as a school attendance review board officer, (and through) bicycle and beach patrol. Everyday is different so it was important for me to work in a field that is not the same routine.
