Oh yeah, I probably should have majored in accounting instead of management. Management degree was so trash. I might as well have majored in "Car washing" or "Is that a rabbit poop or an M&M" cause I was left out to dry after I graduated. Even fellow classmate were left out in no-man's land. One dude went straight back to the same school to get an MBA. I should have done that too. Maybe. I don't know. I was kind of burned out from school and was glad I completed a major hurdle, getting a bachelor's degree.
I hate thinking "what ifs" because I need to think moving forward. I've already had my one mid-life crisis and went for a major career change, and now I've flip-flopped back into the IT world.

What if I did join the military into officer candidate school, maybe my life would be better? I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. What if I would have come out thinking, I wish I never joined. Really, I've met dudes on both sides of the coin. Some love it and are still doing it. Some hated it and regretted the decision. Some love it, but are doing something else and keep their foot half-way in by serving in the Reserves.
I kind of hated my college experience. I had big dreams of middle management. Sounds stupid, but that was back in the 90s. I thought I was going to be a corporate dude and driving a fancy car and living in a fancy home and be married to a hot wife - all in my 20s. That all didn't pan out. I didn't get a home until my mid-30s. I did get a used fancy car in my mid 20s.

Sold that years ago and have been driving econo-boxes since then.

I didn't get married until my 30s.

For all the dudes who are younger, listen to your elders. Sounds stupid. But you'll become an elder and want to dispense out words of wisdom. Idiots will say "Question authority". You ever see that t-shirt or bumper sticker? Well, it's like "I went through the school of hard knocks you dumb-azz bytch, I am an authority on some matters. Ya dikk sucking mother f'ing dikk lover. Don't disrespect my wisdom." Then, I'll hit that dude on top of their head with a walking cane.
