So it's okay that they put down concrete on their lawn, 10 feet into my property, which caused water runoff that flooded my basement more than once? Plus they leave lit camp fires outside over night right next to building supplies.

In response to my previous question, I was also thinking about an engineering degree. Would that be useful also? I'm sure you don't get this enough, thanks for your service and all that you do. I wish there were more people like you in the world.

Asked by Jimmy about 12 years ago

An engineering degree would be of limited use to a police officer. If you like engineering, do that (it pays better and is a much safer occupation.) You can always be a reserve police officer on the weekends.
