When Jill first got in touch and mentioned that she was once a prison officer, I didn’t really expect that we would end up with an episode that takes in gender roles, the virtues of murderers vs drug dealers, and nearly getting run off the road by a teenager.

The "So You Want to be..." series is about people who have had a big career change, or maybe make their living from an unusual occupation, and sometimes both.

These conversations always end up being about far more than just the job that someone does. Their choices, their struggles, and their triumphs reveal insights into the ideals and values we hold dear and what we as individuals bring to a community.
