Well, the way I see it, eventually corporate life will no longer have a place for me. When that happens, I think I will become self employed as a consultant, sharing my years of experience with the noobies and charging a nice, hefty consulting fee every time I decide to show up for work, which is entirely at my discretion.

I suspect there's something like that in Law Enforcement as well. Okay, so no more beat cop for you, but I bet you still have plenty to offer in terms of experience and lessons learned. There's an awful lot of these young punk greenies that think putting a badge on equates to having an "S" tatooed on your chest. Maybe a dose of reality might be worth a buck or two.
