You might want ignore the ignorant comments about abusing power and start by looking for advertisements for job openings under law enforcement.  They often will state what the requirements are.  You could also try picking up an application.  Try scheduling a ride along with the local pd to see what it's like and if that might be the route you want to go.  It will also give you an opportunity to talk with the officer and they can provide you with a better idea of what you're getting into.  Best thing to do is talk to someone who's doing it.  Good Luck !

You should be over age 21, no record of domestic violence, no felonies, clean driving record, no assault convicitons. Have good eyesight and hearing. Ability to run, climb, etc. Weight in proportion to height. No psychiatric illness. Decent credit record. You can take criminal justice courses at college. You can contact the academy in the state you want to work in and ask about putting yourself through pre-service program (pay your own way to become POST certified). Being POST certified makes you a better hiring candidate.  Starting out as a dispatcher can be good (you'll become certified for that too). Dispatching isn't easy though, so don't think of it as "the bottom:".  It's high stress and you MUST be able to multi-task to a high degree. Otherwise you need to be able to keep your cool, handle stress and confrontation, deal with mess (dead bodies, feces, vomit, all that fun stuff) and have good common sense. POST stands for Peace Officers Standards and Training. There should be a POST in your state.  If you want to work and train in another state go to their POST website and academy website.  There are also pre-service programs for dispatchers.

Be ready to make sacrifices and be in school for a very very long time! Start off working in a hospital doing patient transport to see if you like the environment. Take upper level courses if you can in high school and college- try and get the best grades possible to make life easier. You need to be accepted into medical school someday!\n\nOhio State is a great public University with an amazing hospital, research teams and medical school.

I suggest doing AT MINIMUM a two-year diploma or associate's degree in Biology.  There are lots of jobs ecology and environmental studies, including park rangers, animal shelter employees and veterinary assitants.  I'll link to some resources below.\n\nIf you're not interested in college or university, you should still do everything you can to prepare for the workforce and make sure that you'll be a good employee.  I suggest starting an exercise routine so that you'll be able to do heavy lifting and other physical labour in the outdoors (and restrain animals if necessary).  Subscribe to some environmental magazines and read the newspaper every day so that you know about current environmental issues.  Volunteer with a local conservation society (this will look good on your job application forms later).\n\nYou can't expect the job to come to you (especially with no college education)- instead you have to prove that you deserve it!  "Wanting" to work somewhere isn't enough.

You will either want to become a peace officer or lawyer.\n\nYou could get a paralegal degree. Ask at your school.

As a rule of thumb, you'd probably want to do general ChemE.  Doing something like Environmental Engineering is a pretty specific field.  If you like that and really want to do it, fine, by all means do it.  However, I would suggest for the bachelor's degree to do something general like traditional Chemical Engineering.  Then, if you want something specific, go to graduate school and get a master's degree in something more specific.\n\nOf the people in my graduating ChemE class, most didn't get jobs in "traditional" ChemE stuff.  One of the things about ChemEs is we tend to be versatile and can go into many different fields... another reason to do something more general.\n\nHope that helps.

You must, by OSHA regulation, be 40 hour HAZWOPER (hazardous waste operations) trained to at least "awareness" level.  If you're honestly interested in Haz Waste Ops, hit the Chemistry classes, familiarize yourself with basic concepts--oxidizer, reducer, corrosive, spontaneously combustible, etc., etc.  You'll have to be trained to at least "Technician" level.  Personally, I hold a "Specialist" certification.  Be advised that there are literally volumes and volumes of both regulations and requirements for proper storage, segregation, handling, lab packing, transporting and treating of Haz Waste.

You could go for a public health degree (I know there are ones at the Master's level for this...and probably some related ones for undergraduate degrees), or a degree in International Relations. It also sounds like you are interested in agricultural work, so a degree in Agriculture or Food Science might be appropriate.
