Don't be so sure of this. And if you truly can, you may regret it later on in life. A little background; I had the Honor to be selected for special assignment while I was in the Air Force to the United States Air Force Honor Guard.
http://www.honorguard.af.mil/ Part of our duty was to provide military funerals at Arlington on a daily basis. We were taught "military bearing" in short, no emotion, no facial expression and every movement was to be deliberate and precise.
Now, I have always been in public safety, either as a Cop, EMT or Emergency Management. I lived in NJ from 2000-2005 and responded to the World Trade Center and was on site just prior to the first tower coming down.
In short, all those emotions that I thought I could shut off; from what I was taught in the Military, seeing funeral after funeral, working as a Cop or EMT seeing every kind of accident and death there is, turns out they are not shut off, just repressed and sooner or later they will show up.
I don't know what your "future profession" is going to be, but just make sure you have some sort of vent to deal with emotions, it will make them easier to deal with rather then waiting until later.
Sorry, that's my ramble....
