Went in for the oral interview and was asked if I was offered any other job

compared to dispatch if I would take the dispatch job. I said no. Well, that

sent me down to the bottom of the list. I didn't know much about it. I was

just trying to keep the unemployment $$ coming in. They got to me at the

bottom of the list before it expired.

And the rest is history...............>>

Bob,

Was there something you had rather had done?

Did you ever regret going to radio instead of patrol?

EX - hubby failed. I'm sure that was the beginning of the end... I have

thought about this long and hard over the years and while I may think that I

would have rather had an officer's salary I have no regrets. Obviously, I

was well suited to my (now) chosen profession, whether I knew it at the time or

not.

I even became a Corrections Officer for a couple of years, (a long time ago - in

my mid 20s) and hated it, although it paid twice what a dispatcher was making at

the time. Guess I am living proof that, in the long run, job satisfaction is

more important to me than money.

And I have gotten an immeasureable amount of job satisfaction in this career.

That's such a different thing and one job I can't even imagine going into.
