Quit or not?

Thanks for reading.

I'm extremely headache n feel like killing myself, hope I can find a way out here.
I'm a female, 27, single, working in a uniformed enforcement force less than a year.
It wasnt my intention to join the force but my parents' dream indeed, they did everything for me to enable me entering the force.

As I started to work I've found tht i don't like the job n lots of things n people suck. I have no life.
My bf keeps telling me to quit as he hates me doin this as well.
On the other hand my parents dont allow me to quit, probably bcoz it's their dream to b who I currently am and if I quit they'd b embarrassed in front of their friends.

I dont know what to do. I'm in a dilemma.
I feel I'd betrayed my parents if i quit. To b a good child, should I meet their dream, or I quit it for my own future n life?

Struggling and dying. Hope somebody can enlighten me. THanks.

PDRM physical test

Hi my fellow forummers:

Despite of the negative image PDRM projects on the general public, especially chinese society, I have a dream which is to become an officer one day. I have been pursuing the dream since I was a student with the short green pants by joining cadet police force and other activities to make my profile stand out of the crowd and yes I believe I did it.

I graduated Computer Science because there was an ASP told me PDRM needs IT people, it's gonna be easy to join them as an IT guy. I owe 60k to PTPTN just to get the cert, though the course itself taught me nothing for my works. I even spent 6k in correcting my eyesight with lasik solely for this purpose. Today I'm 24 and working like hell in the IT industry with the pay around RM5k, and yet, my dream has not vanished.

I applied for the cadet Inspector last November finally when the ad came out. The ad says you don't have to wait anymore if you don't get a reply in 3 months. So exciting, you know.

In the 3 months I asked my mother to read to me every letter of mine she received so that I won't miss it(unfortunately she's the only one in my home(town) and she is not much literate in BM/english).

No reply in the 3 months and I thought my application flunked, despite of my excellent profile with the certs which almost could not be stuffed in the application envelope.

In the 4th month, the letter came! The letter was dated 11 Feb 08, so I believe it reached my house around 13 or 14 Feb. Nobody else except my mum was at home and she did not bother the letter. The letter says if I'm interested I should go for the physical test on 20 Feb to 22 Feb, 3 days.

I met my mum and got the letter only on 22 Feb. So exciting to see the envelope as it sourced from 'Ketua Polis Negara PDRM Bukit Aman bla bla bla' and 'Panggilan Ujian Penilaian'. When I open the letter, hell, the test was conducted 2 days ago.

- PDRM was giving a notification with snail mail, they did not even bother to notify me with phone
- the notification period was only 1 week prior to the test. Even if I aware I would need 1 week in advance to get a 3-day leave!!
- They sent it after 3 months

What the hell

I'm a Chinese, the reason to get tricked this way? Despite of the rumor that you need to pay 10k to somebody if you want to the join the force as an officer, I was so confident in getting the position. Public speaking? I joined national English debate. Physical test? I played national basketball game. Now all I got is the bloody letter.

Feeling so bad. Thanks for reading my grievance, I just wanted to speak to somebody.

Regards
