For professionals in law enforcement: What helped you sustain long-term commitment to such a demanding field? Were there any moments when you seriously considered pivoting to a different industry, and if so, what factors influenced your decision to stay or transition?

I’m a high school senior determined to pursue a career in federal law enforcement. I’ve explored other paths, including corporate experiences with PepsiCo and a film production company, but realized law enforcement truly aligns with my interests and focus areas. I’m currently interning with the Dallas Police Department, where shadowing detectives and sergeants has given me a real look at the dedication and time the field demands. Seeing this firsthand has shown me that reaching the federal level, like the FBI, will take resilience, focus, and a long-term commitment—but it’s a challenge I’m ready to take on.
