Economic lifestyle

I interviewed my dad Greg Pearlman, who is a lieutenant at the highlands county sheriff office. He has been involved with law enforcement for 25 years and counting. He said that the pay starts out average and will increase with time. My degree will benefit in my salary as promotion time comes. The only down fall with law enforcement is the government pay cuts and low staff of officers due to the pay cut. He said "you gotta love what you due because the pay isn't worth a bullet". A good benefit is retirement after 20 years with the state and 25 with the county. The health benefits are good and it is a way to serve your country with out going to war. He said a way to be succesful on in this career is to get a degree and graduate high in the academy. The degree will come in to hand in landing a job with a agency and will benifit when ask for a promotion. The higher rank you are the more money you can make and with a degree the sky is the limits. He said "that most departments are in desperite need of good lifetime officers who want to protect and serve"

Ecological lifestyle

My first footprint was 5 mostly due to how much meat I eat and my means of transportation. I have a big truck with big tires and I get really bad Miles Per Gallon. I also drive about 90 miles a day between work, school, football and home. So for 24 hours I cut back on the use of my truck and used a more fuel efficient vehicle. This saved my money on gas and also saved the environment by using less co2 emissions.My score dropped down to a 3.3 after a day of being eco friendly and scene I saved money I will continue to be helpful to the environment.

No Technology

The time period that i went without communication was not as bad as i thought. It was very relaxing and my cell phone wasn't missed. The 24 hour time period consisted of sleep, football practice and a lot of studying for big exam on monday.The no technology assignment was a helpful tool in my preparation for my next exam because if I was aloud I would have watched TV and used the computer. I realized that I was not that dependent on communications as other students in my class.

A problem i see this nation having in the next four years is are national defense and boarder control. In America's history almost every new president has been tested by non-American terrorist and American terrorist. I hope the our miliatary is not ordered down when George W Bush is not longer in office and Obama is our new commander and chief. The border needs to remain tight and homeland security should become a major priority for our government.
