I was accepted to a PhD program!

I dropped out of the teacher certification program, and I'm about to drop out of the testing process for a police department. For the subjects I want to certify in, there are really only openings in the districts on the southern part of town. That would make commuting way north of SA more tiresome. The police department I was applying to probably wouldn't have hired me anyway. They don't have their own academy, so they have a preference for those already licensed as peace officers. If you're hired and not licensed, they put you through a regional academy. I'm pretty sure they have a preference for the full-time, 6-month academy which wouldn't have worked with my class schedule. I'm also pretty sure that I would be obligated to work with them for at least a year or pay back what they spent on training.
