Hi – This thread is mainly going to be calling out to any of you might have previous or current knowledge and experience in Govt. jobs that might be able to give me helpful info, food for thought, etc. Maybe one day meet for lunch or coffee and further discuss my options or a plan of action to get from point A to point Z.

Please though keep in mind that I really don’t want to hear any nay say’ers or pessimistic comments. I am a doer, I am a go getter and don’t believe that nothing is out of reach. Especially since that is how I got my current job. J I am just looking for positive, honest, helpful advice and guidance.

Back on point, I currently work as a Project/Program Manager at a corporation doing something I enjoy for the most part. I do find that I don’t feel completely satisfied. I feel like there is still a need or hole in the fulfillment of my life for doing something worth while. I want to know that at my funeral I have a short or long list of things I did to better the greater good over a single wealthy CEO. I am going to be honest though, I am a picky individual so I understand I am limiting my options but still believe there is a position out there that will be a good fit for me. I don’t really want to walk away from a good career that I mostly enjoy for something much worse.

I want to make the jump to a government / federal law enforcement type of job if possible. Being that I don’t have LE or Military experience I understand the fact that it’s a long shot. But hey, being that I still have a job, I have time on my side to keep going for long shots, while starting to stack the deck to make it less of a long shot.

So to the point, I am looking for help in finding positions and job titles that those of you on the inside may be aware of that exist, but that on the outside, may not have high enough visibility for me to know they exist. I provide a list below of the types of things I am looking for:
  • Govt. Job
  • Taking action, to resolve issues or prevent issues to help people or save people.
  • Something that doesn’t require relocating. I have a nice home and all my family here in the Denver Area.
  • I don’t mind traveling a bit as I am single but am not going to sell my home or move out of it.
  • I am not positive but leaning away from a street officer because I don’t think solving petty disputes, DV, and things like that aren’t for the greater good. If someone wants to argue with someone else about something like who owns a coffee pot or something is dumb.
To help draw a better picture, I have an example or two that some friends gave me of types of things I think I would enjoy. I’d list more but that is why I am posting this thread. I don’t know what exists out there.

·Federal Air marshal
·Maybe a US Marshal
·Maybe a field Project manager or something for security or something?
·I am computer/tech savvy so maybe something that is a hybrid of computer crap and field work?


Sorry this wasn’t written out as well as I had hoped while thinking about it over the past week. That’s what I get for trying to pound this out real quick while at work.

Being that some on here like their anonymity, I understand that you may prefer a PM or email off of the board. I also understand that you may not be willing to tell me who you work for or what you do. Honestly that is fine by me, It may not matter much what you do as much as it matters what your advice and suggestions are. J

Cheers.
