If I had it to do over again, I would be a sailor. Officer, preferably.

I’ve come to the realization that I could’ve been a lot of things. An important lesson I’ve tried to teach my kids is that your profession doesn’t have to define who you are.
What you do for a living is not your life.
I’m a teacher, but I’ve been a soldier, IT guy, govt contractor, etc. All of which I could’ve pursued a career and been happy. Same with doctor, park ranger, and a few others I’ve thought about.

Mine is and always has been being in my old military unit. Had a badass 4 years, made Sergeant in 4 years which was pretty difficult in my branch. I always tested well in IQ in high school and so did on the asvab (like 90) at 18 years old. I saw a ton of great officers and a ton of self-serving careerists, who would quickly sell out their Marines to move up to Major quicker. Figured I’d get my degree and become an officer to be part of the solution.
Decided that I’d get out, go to college, and become an officer. I get out, get my degree in 3 years, played football for my university the entire time, and then go to a Marine Officer recruiter only to be told I wasn’t minority enough. I was pretty shocked as a veteran who had spent over a year overseas, so I went to other Marine Officer recruiters. Finally found one that was also an enlisted vet who would work with me. Did a package and was subsequently told by Headquarters of the MC that my disability rating was too high to be allowed to go back in. Basically, I had given the military too much of my body so I’m not allowed to continue serving. That was like 2015.
Still figuring the career thing out. Been in one career for 3 years now and it’s sticking alright, but gonna take the LSAT in June and try to get into Law school.

I'm not old (32), but I probably should've gone into law over my current field.
I enjoy reading, writing, making arguments, logic, and philosophy.
That, or possibly something investigative (detective, FBI, etc...).
My current career path utilizes some of those interests (investigation/problem solving), but overall I'm not really interested in my field. I never casually read about my field in my free time, or even attend conferences/seminars.

For the old heads.....career choice
When I saw this I thought you meant the old rope smokers, referred to in the 1970’s as the “heads” in high school.
Went to college at 25 because working for minimum wage got old. Got a degree in chemistry and have enjoyed my 30 years (and still counting) ever since.
Posted on 4/28/20 at 7:48 am to mmmmmbeeer
I got it right by enlisting in the Air Force and retiring after a 30 year career.

Same here. Figured out I could make more money (at least at the outset) as a consultant in Oil and Gas. Of course, that's gone tits up recently...
If I could do it all again, I'd go into the medical field as a nurse or doctor. I have a tremendous amount of respect for those people, the money's good, and the job security's good. I'm sure I have a "grass is greener on the other side" view and there are serious issues with the profession that I'm not aware of, but it still seems like it beats what I currently do

if you picked a different career at 18, whos to say youd have the same "skills" that make you think youd be a good lawyer
