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.
Did you ever make the wrong career choices?

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.
