My wife just leaned over my shoulder as I was reading some posts here on the forum. She made a very hurtful comment to me which I would like to share with you to see if you have had any similar experience, which I am sure you have, and how you deal with it. This is especially relevant since the news earlier last week when that cop went crazy and killed several people after being called a "worthless pig". My own wife told me that this site was lame and security is not a real job. She has referred to security officers as rent-a-cops and usually says their jobs/careers are not "real", meaning security is not something you should spend your life doing.
I usually just reply that my job is important to the people that I protect and I mean I have a gun so that makes my job cooler. Usually I am able to just suck it up and try to explain that there is a lot of advancement and some really cool areas of security but she just thinks I am a failure.
My wife is a lot more educated than me and I think that has a lot to do with it.
Tell me what you think.
