If you could start again, would you choose the same career path for yourself? If not, what would you do?

Absolutely, Instead of going to College I would have chosen a trade school. And rather than choose Business I also would had chose something in the medical field. Which is in supply and demand. Or I would have chosen to become a truck driver. Even more so knowing there's a shortage of drivers. Excellent question

I chose to have a family as my forever career and I’m pretty proud of that, so no. The skill I’ve picked up along the way have been priceless.

Electronics Engineering Technician

I would have gotten into a more creative career path like marketing or design! I am an electrical engineer and I always find myself wanting to express my ideas more--I'm a half decent artist and enjoy doing design mockups for different things. Though my job does give me some flexibility and creative power at times.

I wouldn't be in the medical field. I'd like to get into a career for research. Research in the way of helping law enforcement track down criminals or research to bring to justice people who are victims of fraud.

Definitely. I chose any easy path out of the military. I had abilities and clearances I did not take advantage of to create a career path that eventually led to what I do now and love.

I would have stayed the course pursuing theater and acting after 10 years of study and performance. Opting out to pursue just trying to make a living, but forever regretting not having the confidence believing in myself.

I, too, would have learned a trade. I chose the business path. I owned and managed three restaurants. Now I can’t seem to catch a break in anything except restaurants. I don’t want the schedules required by restaurants now.
