Default NetJets or CBP???

NetJets or Customs and Border Protection (CBP)...? Both are great opportunities. Which career path would you take?

Thanks

CBP. Security needs for this country will increase before they decrease and it's not affected by the price of oil. Plus, you can carry a gun nationwide!

NetJets... Unless you already have time towards a government retirement and you get a position in the town you really want to live in. Oh, and UAV's aren't going to be flying around fortune 500 exec's but they likely could take away most of the manned flying jobs on the border.

If you are willing to move to the CBP location then I say CBP. If you aren't willing to move, then you can't do it and NetJets would be better. I would be all over CBP if I we willing to move.

WOW! These are such differents jobs that it would be hard to compare the two. The excitement and atmosphere of the CBP would be hard to beat I would imagine; but the opportunity for travel and the equipment of NJ is great! Luckily for me it isn't an option or I would be struggling with this same question. Good luck to you.
