I just came across this site and think it is great.
So here is my story. I am currently working overseas on a contract. I will return home (small town Iowa)with $10,000 saved and not a whole lot of job prospects. I have worked as a contractor for Dept. of State, Department of Defense, and the United Nations working bomb dogs or as an instructor for police K9 handlers (Bosnia, Iraq, Kosovo). I have been a cop for 21 years. In other words not a whole lot of marketable skills and returning to the street as a 40 year old rookie isn't appealing.

I would like to use the money I have saved to start a business, but being a cop, I am skeptical about alot of the "business opportunities" out there. It is not a whole lot for start-up but Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
