>>True, not everyone wants to be a doctor, mechanic, etc. I really enjoy putting criminals in jail because I think I'm making a difference. Of course, it is probably my father's fault. He was a cop (four uncles too) and I thought he walked on water and breathed under it. Now, I'm a cop and so are my brothers.

Kind of makes sense when you think about it. It's really not that different from other professions in a way. Insurance executives' kids often find themselves in insurance, bankers' kids go into banking, musicians' kids become musicians, etc. Parents pass on their value systems and their 'expertise'.
