Sales to LE

So, I’ve been struggling with this a lot lately.

I graduated from college two years ago with a degree in criminology and political science. Growing up I knew I didn’t want to sit behind a desk for my whole life. I got an awesome opportunity to join a tech company in sales not to long after graduating. Pay looked great, so I took it. 2 years later I’m sitting here regretting life and wishing I never did this. I’m not happy, and I hate waking up in the morning.

I’m early in my professional life. But I don’t know if I can let go of 120k a year at 24. I know of some people in my personal life that went from sales to LE.

Has anyone else does this? Was the change in pace worth it?

I’m too late to get into the civil service exams for 2025. So regardless I think I have to wait another year to do anything. Any help is appreciated.
