    Please don’t be too harsh on yourself, you don’t actually know that it would have been a good idea, it is impossible to say if it would have been better or not.

    You took the logical route, finnishing your education, which opened other doors for you.

    I tend to see life as a game where you are given a set of playing cards at birth, you gradually take over control of your deck as you grow up.

    You play your individual cards with the knowledge you have, and every play can give you even better cards to use later.

    You have no idea if you are about to get your next break, you can only play your cards with the knowledge you have.

      Yeah, I know. I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life, I just roll with it. But I do regret not taking up a lot of the opportunities that I didn’t realize were worthwhile opportunities. I have a tendency to screw myself over, it is what it is. :)
