Has working in adult affected your relationship with your family?
When I told my parents I was getting into it, I was basically disowned. They said what I was doing was absolutely idiotic, it was sure to hurt both me and them (they thought some russian mobsters were gonna be gunning for me and my family), it was morally reprehensible (but of course they'd be happy if I was a code monkey at any evil company in the world, facebook, google, whatever). I'd never be able to get another job again if I did this. My life would be ruined.
Years later they've accepted me back into their lives, but I'll always be the black sheep. They'll always subtly attack me for what I do. Their opinions of me are forever changed.
What have you experienced?
