I work 6 days a week, 10 hours a day, part time college at night twice a week. Can't devote any time to Auxillary PD right now and can't leave the job I am working to try and dispatch somewhere.
How can I find a PD that is willing to give me a sponsor to get the training I need to at least make me competitive for finding a job? |

Some actually get paid details, which then you might have time for, right? I used to work full-time job and a part-time job while attending class a couple nights a week, And I still managed to "work for free" (Auxiliary). When you post here, sometimes you may get comments and suggestions you won't like.

| The point of what I was saying is that if I have to choose between working to pay bills, rent,car payments, health insurance, put food on the table, etc. or volunteering as an Auxillary........there really is no choice. People have to work to get by and live. |
