I don't really get why people always describe someone as "an off-duty cop," it's like, no one ever calls someone "an off-duty bartender"

I feel that it is a title that the police discipline itself has used for a long time to not support what the police officer does when he is not on duty, it seems pertinent to me.

Being a cop is one of those jobs that follows you home. People who hold a grudge may still target cops when they're off the clock. Also, cops sometimes commit unsanctioned activities so this draws a distinction between on-duty and off-duty activities.

That's funny, I've never thought of it that way. I guess it's because you can't handle this job unless it is what you are called to do with your life. So our dedication is a lot higher than a bartender no matter how much they love their job, and it forms a greater part of our identity.

Hi Fishes,

I am a QA engineer in an edutech company. I have an experience of 7.5 years (manual testing- database, front end, mobile and api testing).

I want to move to a BA role. I have good communication skills and an analytical mind. Below are 3 of my biggest questions.

1. Is it too late to switch to a BA role?
2. What are the skills,tools or certifications required?
3. How should I approach a job opening, given that I have no work experience as a BA.

Pls do pitch in your thoughts
