Quote From: renagadeHow do some people make you doubt yourself - easy - because they don't like themselves and they have to put others down.
I was like that in hight school too - till I found out that part of this problem was the fault of the teachers. Going into my senior year and after talking to my Uncle I became Me and let the chips fall where theymay.
If you don't step out of your confort zone - not only do you loose - but your family suffers.
The reason the police option is not scary is that you have nonething to loose - except your life in the line of duty. The police dept will provide everything - however you may too a large extent loose yourself.
The cafe is the scariest because You will have to provide everything and everything falls on your shoulders. However if you succeed walaa!!! If the cafe fails, your family will not loose they will still have you and I'll bet they will be supportive, and you will still have yourself.
On the one hand Nat - you and only you can make this decision - on the other let me know the pros and cons of each and I'll give you my opinion.

I just read what queentween wrote to you about going into business - this is a perfect example of people that should never go into business. I responded and I don't think they are going to like it.
Anywho. I was going to wait for a responce from you, but decided to do this.
If you choose the police - you will have everything provided for you. It will be dangerous, basic training will be hard and gruelling, and you will probabley be trained to loose your idenity. You will be admired by some, and reviled by others. Your family life may suffer, may not - depending on type of cases that happen. You will put your life on the line daily.
If you choose the Cafe. Yes it will be hard work in the beginning, but if you know who you are, have
confidence in yourself, do all your homework, do not think you know everything, allow other to help you run your business (and by this - in Lee Iacoccas book - he was the president of Ford - he said the job of a ceo is to hire people who can stand on their own feet, who know their area well and you allow them - not tell them - but allow them to do their job) you will have a successful busniness.
