The thing that stood out the most was my driving record. At the time of the background check, looking back 5 years I had 5 tickets and maybe 4 or 5 accidents on my record. The background investigator told me that I had two options: I could either withdraw immediately, or I could let the background investigation run it's course, but he absolutely promised me that I would be disqualified before I was even out of the building. His exact words, "Your driving record is F-ing terrible." He cited it as a potentially huge liability issue. Were I ever to be assigned to transport, got into an accident, and the investigation revealed that I was hired with such a bad record, it would be a really bad situation for everyone involved.Originally Posted by DaCitySlanga

Downside is that Mayor Fenty is discussing layoffs and furloughs
How do you like this? Are you the dude that got the B.A. in Criminology, and a Masters in Public Administration? I spent about 5 months interning with the public defender, conducting pre trial interviews at juvenile hall. I really enjoyed it. I tried getting a job with the Probation Department as a Juvenile Corrections Officer but my background got me disqualified.
Yeah I got my B.S. in Criminal Justice actually and my Master's in Public Administration. Sorry to hear about your disqualification. How did you get disqualified if you dont mind me asking??
As far as my job, I like it a lot. Being able to interact with the juveniles, especially if they are sentenced at the Detention Center and are about to be released in the community, they really have a 100% turnaround and STAY OUT OF TROUBLE. All they need is guidance, and an ear they can talk off.Why dont you try taking the test for DJS in the State of MD?

Some of your guys' jobs are crazy interesting. I have my BA in Econ but I decided on a whim to go into accounting so I'm studying and taken half of my CPA tests and am working in the Accounting dept. at Oakley - free shades is cool, the job is straight boring though!

pretty much he was right. That would disqualify you. Maybe if they are off your record in a few years you could try again.

The pros are the pay if your are just coming out of high school that's probably the best time cause most apprenticeship programs are like 5 years and by the time you finish you will be making more then a college professor. The starting pay ranges from 15-30 dollars an hour it all depends on the county your working in and that's starting pay for a first year apprentice. The cons are like I said the conditions you work in dirty, hot, smelly, cold, freezing weather you work in. Also as a apprentice most not all journeymen treat you like thier personal slave (I say this from experience) but that's just part of learning the job. Oh yeah and its possible you may get electrocuted remember its the amps not the volts that kill you.
