Did you ever make the wrong career choices?

    I know I have had several opportunities to transfer with a prominent position intact and turned them down to family logistics and such. Now that I am older I regret the decisions I made. I may not have been on easy street but it would have made things a whole lot better.

    Yeah, when the company I worked for (past tense) asked us to tell them if we saw instances of exclusion I should have kept my trap shut. You'd think I worked for the GB.

    My wrong career choice was pioneering.

    I thought I did, until time passed and I looked back and realized it wasn't wrong after all. Everything fell into place just as it was meant to.

    Gee JO, that's what I was gonna say. I've been very fortunate to get where I have without a degree. And it's been like domino's, I could not have reached this point without all that came before.

    Being a JW who graduated high school in 1971, I made a terrible career

    choice, I became a full time pioneer.

    I still havent recovered from that.

    I should have went to college and had a foundatin to build a career on.

    Being raised a witness and having faulty witness thinking lead to one bad decison

    after the other.

    Then some jobs I wanted I couldnt get, Maybe there was too much competition

    maybe I didnt know the right people.

    I tried to get hired by the post office, I couldnt

    I tried to get hired by the fire department, I came close but didnt get hired.

    I tried to become an air trafic controller when I was 31 years old and after I escaped

    the tower, they told me I was too old, Thats something you have to get into right out

    of school, thats when I was pioneering, changing the world for God.

    So I ended up settling for what was available, and what was available was not permanent.
