I've been searching through the world of CP for the past month or so, but being stateside, it's a bit daunting with many courses and opportunities halfway around the world.
Airfare isn't a problem, it's just that I would like to see or hear firsthand about some different companies. I've found a few bad apples so far in my search. One company tried to scam me out of $400, and was run by a guy in an apartment. Also, I am currently 19 years old. I know that some companies only offer training to those that are 21+. How flexible is that policy, if at all, and are there companies that DO hire under 21? Thank you in advance for your time. |

Hi mate,
Sorry to hear you got scammed out of your cash, it is unfortunate but these things do sometimes happen, could you do a favour and name and shame the company that did this to you? Just to be clear on your points , at 19 and I assume you have no Military background ? You will find it difficult to secure employment in a CP role. I would suggest to you that you look around your local area and get some event security or guarding employment before spending a lot of money on flights, courses and then discover that most companies wont touch you until you are mid twenties.... Can I suggest perhaps a stint in the military? Maybe National Guard if you are stateside? There are loads of good training teams in the states that you can attend also. I would forget any Hostile work with your age and background. |
