if I go into the airforce it will be in either transport/lolgistics or secpol and if I go into WAPOL it would be into traffic unit

Ok here goes, if it was me I’d be thinking Police Officer is poor pay, lousy hours, unhealthy and dangerous, Airforce? Great but depends what you want to be, if you want to become an officer, pilot etc i;d say go for it, but its hard work and you have to be good at math to do that, there are plenty of normal jobs in the RAAF as well but they dont pay that well. Now a real estate agent is great as well if you make lots of sales and you work in the right areas, but remember there are thousands of agents and they are all trying to sell so you have to be a great salesperson and be able to communicate very well with people, to start off with you probably will be on crap money, just commission plus sales you make if you make any at all, its a tuff market. So it would make me think that the RAAF option is the way to go, Good Luck with it all, hope you have a great future, Cheers

Do you have family, do you like travel?
WAPOL have some BIG areas to police. The cops in outback WA take several days to drive around their "beat".
Air force – Bases are in known areas. Less travel (depending on what your job is). Probably my choice.
Real Estate Sales- one step below used car dealers.
