No. It's been a good run and can still make good money in my field working as much or little as I want now. Not bad considering it wasn't what I intended to do initially.

Yeah. I make good money but it’s tougher family wise because of travel. I’d be a baggage handler at the airport if it paid enough.

I have 2 years of Architecture under my belt and switched to Finance. I wish I would have stayed in Architecture.

Yep. I wish I could afford to take the pay cut. I'd take ditch digger...the exercise would be good for me and it would be far less stressful.

I love the job I have now, but I don’t make enough money.
My calling in life was being a Marine; it came naturally and I was great at military life. Planned on getting my degree and going back in as an officer. Went to college, met a girl, and the rest.... well.... I never went back in.

If you do it before age 30 it is pretty seamless, albeit a little scary. I changed at 28 (w/2 kids) and never looked back. Happily retired now with no regrets.

Wish I had gone into construction when I was younger. Healthcare accounting has been pretty good, but not exactly what I expected.

Chem Engr did 30 years of petrochemical management. 20 years of which was in the middle east and far east starting up grass roots complex's. Every day was interesting and a challenge. Many years were 24/7. Working outside the US bureaucracy allowed many more accomplishments. Burned out at 50, 20 years ago Hadn't worked since. I would do it the same way all over again

Yep. I make more than I ever thought was possible for my age and degree. I don’t love what I do but I don’t hate it either. At 39 I could come up with other things I’d rather be doing but my salary and benefits provide well for my family and set me up well for retirement.

No sir.
Outside Claims Adjuster for residential and Business. Work my own schedule, don’t have to go into an office. Hardly have to climb roofs. Fly a UAS(drone) for that now.
Do some catastrophe work too sometimes throughout the year for extra money.
I try to be a good one. Love writing checks. But shh...don’t tell anybody. Lol.

Yeah. Something with less hours and more money.
