I asked the question so I guess I need to reply...for me I would have gone to college instead of becoming a pioneer and therefore I would not be in a job that I have to be in because I do not have a college degree.
I would have in general experienced life a little more...my values I treasure, and I think they have helped to make me a better person... but sometimes a little too nervous....i can remember having a beer underage & getting talked to by the elders & the CO & it being a big deal, I think I was always worried I was going to "get in trouble"...
