You need a job and you have three offers:

- A bread factory
- A surgical instruments factory
- A munitions factory (land mines)

All else being equal, the pay in the munitions factory is double of what you would make at the other places.

Which job would you take?
Actually all those jobs kinda suck. They all have the potential of harming people. I would like to say that I'd choose the job that helps people, but then it'd have to also be about independence. At this stage in my life, I really don't want to work for anyone except myself. So I'd prefer working for myself, but at the same time doing no harm to anyone, quite the contrary even.

Dalek, I have the utmost respect and admiration for peacekeepers.

One reason I was a proud Canadian, before you-know-who screwed things up.
