I am a Deputy District Attorney. My job is to put bad people away, sometimes for a long, long time.
Pro: You actually assist people who are the victims of crime. Although you can't undo what has happened, you can help people achieve closure as well as help them feel that justice has been done. And, although I will never get rich from this job, the salary is nice.
Con: Sometimes the responsibility is heavy -- making sure (as best you can) that you never fluff up is a constant concern. Also, dealing with the riff-raff on a daily basis can make you sour if you're not careful.
Overall: A great career. Maybe not quite as good as professional suntanner in Hawaii, but probably a close second. :)
Diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice doggie" until you can find a rock.
