Introduction• “Big thinking precedes great achievement.”- Wilferd A.
Paterson.• I do not like the impact that drugs have had on people that I
know and people I have just seen or heard about. The drugs can mess up your whole life or kill you just from trying it one time. If I can keep the drugs away from someone, that'll help them stay clean, and could save someone's life.
• In order to get a better understanding of my chosen career field as a DEA Agent, I will be researching (nature of work, working conditions, training, job outlook, earnings, and a back up career)

Conclusion
After researching this field, I would still like to be a DEA agent. One thing I really am looking forward to is getting the drugs off the streets. The one thing I am not going to enjoy that much is testifying in court with the lawyers questioning me. Over all I have learned that I need to get a good education and be dedicated to get in that field. I have also learned that a back up plan is always good to have.
