Career=stability
I have been working with two security contractors since June and now that their gig is almost over they are scrambling for the next one. They have been paid handsomely and are prepared to be out of work for up to 3-4 months. What if they donīt get another gig for a longer time? Granted Iraq and AFG arenīt the only places for contract work, but it is not a sure deal.
In LE there will always be a need for us to take care of business at home. The money isnīt as good, the job isnīt as sexy as contracting, beauracracy sucks, and sometimes our citizens criticize everything we do. The benefits in LE, at least for my dept, are pretty good though. Medical, dental, optical, legal, retirement pension. Besides it is a damn fun job at times!
Can you take a temporary leave of absence? Make some money, connections and get back to LE. IMHO, in the long run youīll be better off keeping your current career track.
Just my .02
