You do realize that you will have to work the road as a regular officer/trooper for 3-5 years minimum before you can go off into investigations ?? !!
The PSP academy is a live-in type for 5 months I believe , then you'll very likely be on midnight shift or roatating evenings and nights . Just wanted to make sure that you as a single mom know what kind of position you are geting into.Creeper Cop

G'day from Australia and welcome to RP.
I think we all know it's tough to be a single parent and to find that balance between work/study and home.
Good luck on the exam and whatever career you decide on.

You're welcome but I know there are several single parents on this forum, some of whom are looking at a career change or applying for law related jobs after completing their study. As well as one's who write a very good blog!!! :D
It's hair raising enough bringing up a teenage daughter with two of us!!! I'm sure she's given me the last lot of grey hairs!!
