I’m 19 and currently in my 2nd year of a 4-year steamfitters apprenticeship. The money is good, but I keep asking myself if this is really what I want to do for the next 40 years. I’ve always felt a strong pull toward being a cop. I think it’s just the sense of being able to actually help and protect people in need. I feel like the best time to pull the trigger would be right now while I’m still young, but I'm torn.
Should I just thug out the rest of my apprenticeship to finish it and see if things get better, or try and chase something I don’t know if I’ll even enjoy as much as I do in my head?

I recently applied for this job and the interview day is coming up fast. I'm so nervous, and already feel incredibly under qualified as this would be my first serious job after dropping out of college due to not affording it. I also don't think I can get 3 letters of recommendation in time. Should I be this worried? Am I in over my head?
