Except for the ‘having 2 kids’ part, my life now is absolutely NOTHING like I envisaged it when I was a student.
I started college as a pre-med biology major. One change of major (in junior year), with plans to pursue a PhD for a career in academia. But a summer internship during grad school changed my mind, and I left school with just a Masters degree. Though I’ve been in the same career field for over 25 years, the career has unfolded with multiple changes of employer and multiple int’l changes of scenery.
Like Yogi Berra famously said:
“When You Come to a Fork in the Road, Take It!”
