I was about to make some smart-ass comment about how they teach vocabulary in college, but then I looked up spunge.

My bad.

Anyway, I think that taking a year off won't really matter one way or the other. It's not wasted time, but it's not likely to cause some profound directional shift in your life, either. At the end of the year, you'll probably still want to be a cop, but take the networking job because it pays well. And life will be happening in the meantime. You might fall in love, lose a limb, win the lottery, or otherwise be inconvenienced. So don't sweat it. Just do what you think you ought to, and understand that if it doesn't work out, you might have to take door #2. One's "happiness" is independent of this decision, IMO.

dammit. i've forgotten how to be sarcastic and biting.
