Were you shocked at seeing societies underbelly ? Did it have a profound effect on you for those first few weeks ?
I remember reading about a very senior & decorated London detective with 25 years of experience. He recalled during his first few days as a new young officer he cried himself to sleep every night at the shock of seeing the worst of society and the way people live.
I wonder if this is more of a question for those who grew up before internet and show all 24 hour news. These days most people with a tv & the internet have seen and learned about the most appalling things. Although even then it must be different when you're face to face with it.
