When Tang Wai-kit quit his teaching post to join the Hong Kong Police Force this year, his friends and family voiced worries that he might end up in a job with less pay but bigger safety risks.
But the 26-year-old was determined to forge a new path for himself.
This week he and 163 others completed a six-month constable training at the Police College, joining the increasing number of residents opting for a career in the force.
“As a teacher, I only serve my students. But as a police officer, I can serve the whole city,” Tang said.
He added that his duties as a police officer offered more immediate results compared with the slower tempo of education.
