Go where you feel lead, Jamie, but as a full-time cop AND reptile lover myself, you CAN do both. I can't think of any other career that is as fulfilling and equally infuriating as being a cop. It's the greatest job in the world as far as I'm concerned but there are days...and that's where the snakes come in. Hanging out with them, managing their enclosures, feeding and taking care of them and eventually being able to breed them is an awesome hobby and a great stress reliever at times.
You can't go wrong in either field, at least in my opinion, lol! As far as a stable income, law enforcement is a good route to take. Put in your 20 years or more if you care to, earn your pension, and still be young enough when you retire to take up a second career if you wanted to or dive into the reptile business full-time if you're still so inclined. Just my two cents on the subject, for whatever it's worth. Whatever you decide, best of luck to you!
