He works in a medium security federal prison, first thing he said, that whatever i do, i should not work for a state prison no matter what level of security, because it is rather dangerous. He said on the other hand, federal prisons are far more secure regardless of the security level. He said only 30 people have died in the 100 years of the federal prison system, and in case something were to happen, someone will always have your back. You'll have to go to some training school in Georgia, to learn some defense moves and stuff, the CIA goes to train there. You'll be allowed to carry a concealed weapon anywhere you go except on an airplane. He said he loves his job for many reasons, he said that he gets bored easily, but this job is great because every day brings something new, and its not the same old thing day in and day out. He said its great because you meet some interesting people, and with many of them you feel like you can reach out to them to help them.
In terms of benefits and finances, its amazing. Average starting rate is ~$65,000/year, with annual raises the first three years. PLUS the government pays for your cost of living, so you will have the annual pay plus they pay for the cost of food, gas, etc. There is tons of room for parallel and vertical promotions, for example in the prison if you work hard you can move up to prison warden, and you can transfer into other government psychologist positions, for example psychologist in the military, psychologist in CIA, psychologist in the courtroom, etc. The government will pay for your medical finances, your medicine, and any other finances like that. And its a steady schedule, 7:30-4, 5 days a week, holidays and government holidays off.
Overall, it sounds great benefit wise and job wise. Im actually happy with this decision.
