That there is perhaps your problem.

Youll grow out of it

ive tryed to get into the police force 3 times also (west mids that is) with no luck

id stay at home with the rising cost of living and just save like crazy.

Yeah having your own place is overrated if homelife is ok. I moved in and out multiple times until I was about 25. Then eventually gave them a break.

+1 on the special constable.

Great choice of career though, my dad was in the police for years, absolutely loved it.

Same age, same position.

I want to move out after final year at college, if an opportunity with a fairly well paying job and decent accomodation came up I would.

However, after thinking hard about it, education is a good position to be in at the minute with jobs still being cut, so I'm staying and home and commuting to uni in September if I get the grades.

On the plus side to putting up with my parents (I have no limits so it doesn't matter if I moved out or not), I don't pay board and can then afford a bike when I've hopefully got a few more hours / sub-manager roll sorted at work.

If you have never understood the entrance tests and the reasoning behind them, then you dont stand much of a chance really. Then to sit and blame a selection procedure is the wrong attitude.

The Police pension is also another good reason to join up. I know retirements a long way off, but you've got to think long term

Job security is another. Crime isn't going to go away.

If you must move out, then rent at the moment. Otherwise save your hard erned moolah.

Was one of the best things I ever did was move out, but I was about 23 when I did it
