I am a lawyer, and I always saw myself as a criminal lawyer, now I dedicate myself mainly to divorces; I spent time working in the criminal area, and I am from San Francisco; it is a very murky world for me, not always what you want is the right thing for your future.

As a policeman I always wanted to be a detective, my father was, my uncles too, now I'm competing to be a detective, can you wish me luck?

I think I always wanted to be a patrolman, one day I saw a movie called training day, which talks about the first day of an honest police officer in the streets, although it seems crazy that movie motivated me to be a patrolman and to try to fix the streets of the most honest way possible.

I have always wanted to be a federal judge, I am a prosecutor's attorney and apparently, I have a good future; many colleagues and bosses have praised my work, and many have told me that I aspire high thanks to my successes; I hope to continue on my path and become a federal judge.

I have always wanted to be a prosecutor, I work as a lawyer in the child protection sector, I would love to be a prosecutor and help minors even more with family problems of which they are not guilty.

I always wanted to be a Wichita police sergeant, and I have achieved it, I became a sergeant eight years ago, and they have offered me promotions. Still, I wanted to get this far I feel that I have completed my goal and can always share it with my family; I love what I do,. Even if it seems that I have no ambition, my ambition is my peace of mind and ability to share with my family every day of my life.

I come from a long line of cops, it was kind of ingrained into my brain that I should go into law enforcement to become an officer. I didn't really choose it, but I also can't complain.

Is anyone else feeling completely hopeless about their job? Two years ago I still had so much zest and love for advertising. And now I feel miserable working long late hours and almost every weekend. I am underpaid because we’ve been on a freeze for over a year even though I’ve been promised one. I have no more motivation left in me to keep going. This job is killing me but I have no idea what else I could do. Any advice on getting out?
