Abstract
This study proposed that the ability to be a self actualizing person, as described by Abraham Maslow, is enhanced by the process of higher education. The more educated the individual, the more developed his capacity to self actualize. This hypothesis was tested on eighty-nine white male volunteer subjects who were employed by nine South East Florida police departments. Chi Square analysis of the demographic data found significantly more college officers were currently married as opposed to divorced or single. Also, college educated officers enjoyed significantly higher rank and salary but were less satisfied with their jobs than were their high school educated counterparts.
