I'm glad to discuss it too. So far, I've only talked to two people about these things, and I don't feel ready to come out to my friends and relatives yet.

It's hard, and if hardship is defined by one's effort to overcome the pressures of society, then sure, cops have an easy life. But not everyone shares the same hardships, and society ain't one of mines. I know that by choosing this career, I'll be confronting them instead of choosing comfort (i.e. the easy path).

That and I hate corporate culture, I may been less of a puppet when I was a developer but I felt like a prostitute, so it's definitely an improvement.

This is off-topic, but out of curiosity, which denomination were you a part of?
