Just curious: Let's say you absolutely know for SURE that you will be the "best of the best" in either of these industries. Which one would you choose:
1) 25 year big city cop/veteran, eventually retiring with a reputation known around the country (maybe even the world). Tons of experience in tactics, and SWAT operations; and access to all the fun "toys" available only to LE or military. And you are in constant demand to train and lecture at departments, firearm expos, and miltary bases around the world.
2) Successful businessman in the e-commerce world and internet investments. Within 5 years from now, you have an income of $500k/year. After that 5 years, the income is residual and although you have no access to the fun "toys," you can do all the travelling, hobbies, and family stuff for the rest of your life.
To some the answer may be obvious. But I really am curious about what guy's goals and vision of the "perfect" life would be if they had either of these choices. Please be specific, and no "cheesy" answers.
thanks,
