@GMTplus7 The way the lottery of life works, most of the major and career changes that we’ve described also involved geographic changes and who, if anyone, we ended up marrying. I surely wouldn’t ever have met my wife, the mother of our two children, had I gone to law school or had I become a chemist. Although I can imagine that I might have ended up studying chemistry in graduate school at Wisconsin (where I met my future wife in an economics course) I probably never would have met her in the sea of 33,000 students. And my kids would be . . . different and not “ours.”
