Congrats! What's your career plan? Forensics or law enforcement?

i actually have a interview with a high school, it would be setting up a facebook page for the school and maintain it. would go to the games and take pic of event plus send in scores to the newspaper. its a communications position so not sure what else i would have to do.

sounds like a good job and pays better that the probation officer job or the crime scene job i am looking at.

Sounds like an interesting position, not quite in the major. LOL.
I'm a probation officer out here in San Diego. We get paid pretty good, but I heard the same thing here, pay in Texas is not that great for probation officer. Good luck with it.

We are on a hiring freeze for the last 3 years. But starting pay was around $48k/yr.

Depends on which part of Chula Vista you are looking at. The west side (old Chula Vista) you can get a 2 bedroom apartment for about $1000. But the east side, East Lake, Otay Ranch area. You are looking at at least $1500 a month.

Wow starting pay is only 4.6 that's not much. I'm in texas and I've made that much so far since January 1st. I'm glad I didn't go to college.
