Tough decision.
I've heard it said that when people of advanced age are asked their biggest regret in life, the answer is usually not something they did, but something they didn't do.
When I finished college, I was planning to either ride the transAm or thru hike the Appy trail. I was young and physically fit for either and had both the time and financial resources.
But, right after graduation and as I was deciding which adventure to take, I was offered a very nice job in my chosen career making a higher salary than any of my also newly graduated friends. I viewed this as a tremendous opportunity and accepted the job, intending to pursue my adventure at an undetermined future time. Shortly thereafter came marriage, mortgages, and career advancement. I make a comfortable living now in a career that suits me. I am fortunate and I know it.
But there has been a moment of every day for almost three decades when I regret not having taken that adventure when I had the chance.
