I am sick of hearing people come on this forum and cry and moan about every little thing some people need to suck it up and grow a pair.
Discussing the downside of this job does not equate to whining, complaining, crying or moaning. It is logical discourse about reality. Not everybody sees life through the rose-colored lenses you're looking out of. Its great that you are so positive about your job and I commend you on it, just know not everybody can share that 'joi de vivre' you have.
Chalk it up to the unbridled optimism of youth. I would've been right there with you 11 years ago. Family, life, economic concerns all wear on a person, and soon, very soon, reality sets in and overtakes optimism and replaces it with realism.
