Wow. That is bizzare.
You'd have thought they would have special streams for the intelligent folks where they get training in computer security or something of the sort.

This is a local police force.  They don't do that kind of thing.
They don't have any connection to a greater state/national police group?

They have their phone numbers in a Rolodex.

Is the thesis even true?  Are smart people more likely to grow bored and quit?

Yes.

People hate busybodies and do-gooders.

I know I did. I has one chick who would do a memo once a month with her ideas on doing a re-org of the entire office. I assume she is still there, cranking out memos.

Doesn't sound very intelligent.

Much of my current job is a form of paid unemployment. I was just musing this morning how it is sort of like being in prison (albeit emphasis on the sort of) and how I wish I could do something with my life. It sucks massively.
If you don't love kids and love teaching than this job is the wrong one for you. How you can actually teach kids and feel like you aren't doing something great with your life is mind boggling to me.

On topic,  when I applied for the ed program they were very surpprised, I had the highest scores of an applicant in years.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I think I've known plenty of people who did teach for america who had mixed feelings on whether they made a difference (which makes a lot of sense given the particulars).
