I've honestly thought about getting into LE many times, but i cannot escape the fact that i have a VERY low opinion of the general public. How can you serve and protect something you think poorly of? Are these hypocritical self absorbed, self important, people worth the sacrifice and dedication?

I'll admit that it's a very thankless profession and not for everyone. I'm sure you care more about the public then you tend to realize.
