Police or Doctor? How about both?

I'm taking forensic science on Tigerwoods. There's a lot going on my mind right now. Should I be a doctor or police? Is there anything such as both? I want to be a police who would risk her life on anything, investigate the crime scene, analyzing fingerprints, know how to use gun etc. at the same time I want to be doctor which is a pediatrician where I could help kids. I was thinking about being a police first then doctor but is that possible? I want to be walking in my police uniform with a badge on my uniform and at the same time I want to wear my doctor's uniform. Im kinda confuse at myself right now. ,Could you help me? P.S I dont want to be a lawyer and I love computers. #medicine #police #law-enforcement #forensic-science

Yes you can be whatever you want to be so long as you stay on track with your goals. I studied Biology in undergraduate with the aspiration of being and OB/GYN but ended up as a police officer and then finance but never lost my bearing for medicine and have aspiration of going to medical school. Also, currently a student pilot as well. Medicine is a whole level of commitment so once you enroll in medical school you might have to put law enforcement on hold due to how demanding the studies is. I will say go into law enforcement because the academy is 6 month or less. Upon completion of police academy, give yourself about a year to learn the basics of the job then start branching out slowly into medicine. Depending on how your departmental schedule is will determine if you can do med school and policing at the same time. Base on your police chief and most importantly your police contract, that will determine if you can be granted leave of absence for the period of medical school plus residency. Your department can work some sort of deal with you while you go through this process. If you decide to do medicine first before law enforcement, your chances of being a cop will be slim to non since you will have a lot on your plate. I wish you the best of luck and do not let anyone discourage you of your goals and progress. You can do it just stay focus and have a plan of execution.
