Is Border Patrol a good job?

Am applying for the Border Patrol however I wanted to get some feedback from former or current Border Patrol Agents. I applied for South Texas Sector. I started to work out because I heard the academy is brutal?

Answer:
Ok look, alot of these guys that are answering don't have a clue what it is like to give your life to your country. Most people belive what is told to them in the media which saddens me deeply because it is hardly ever true. The Border Patrol is a very good job with excellent pay and benefits. The job is also very rewarding with tons of overtime. Yes defentaly start getting in shape NOW! You need to focus on running endurance and lots of upper body strength. Plus brush up on as much Spanish grammer as possible. Good luck!
Depends on which side of the border you're on.
Yes, if you have criminal behavior.
Me too I make like 8 thousand a month letting illegal aliens in hehe he

Nice job...

For Mexicano. Omg I really doubt you are Mexican and if you are, you're the kind we're ashamed of.
Good luck. I think our adminstration should back up our Border Patrol much more than they are doing now PARTICULARLY in Texas. However, you are certainly needed there!
Of what I've seen,being a Border Patrol Agent today is like going to IRAK with a water pistol,mexican drug lords are sending former mexican military (ZETA)and police personell along with the drug traffickers as protection against US agents,our moronic people in Washington have tied the Border Patrol's hands with virtually no authority,infact two agents are now in prison for trying to stop a mexican drug dealer that was shot at who was given immunity by our own stupid government.Bush,Kennedy and all the boneheads in Washington have made the Border Patrol agency a joke and in the process made our southern border as porous as swiss cheese
It is an honorable job.As you probably have already heard,the easy job is catching criminals. The hard part will be dealing with the crap fom supervisors. It is the same way in police work.Working out is good. The main thing is to develop quickness.It will help you alot.
