Being a QA sm

One thing holding me back from applying for QA is that I assume there will be those who "hate" you. I don't do well with that. I also was "QA'd" incorrectly by a hospital supervisor and when I copied an explanation of why my term was correct, she said, "Well, we've been doing it "x" way for years." So I was "wrong" and I guess it works both ways, it must be tough, don't need that in my life, nor do I need someone telling me I'm wrong when I'm not. Anyone else been down this road?
