I decided right then and there that I didn’t want a career in any field where my retirement could be revoked. To me, it is something a person earns due to their years of service and should not be revoke-able based on a future action.[/quote]
Absent any other concern, basing your decision on a single anecdote you don’t even know is true is . . . odd. Hopefully the OP’s son has the common sense to conduct a bit more due diligence.[/quote]
Not sure if you thought that response through well. I didn’t say I wouldn’t be a cop based on a single unconfirmed anecdote. I said that I wouldn’t choose a career where my pension could be revoked by a future action. I would certainly do my due diligence to see if the career had that potential issue before ruling it out.
