A-10 pilot

We've been at war for the last 20 years. I would've had plenty of work.

Aside from slightly taller I’m 100% fine with my profession. Never had any dreams or aspirations of any one profession just wanted to hopefully find one that would take care of my needs and desires and the Lord did bless me with that


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I always wish I would have given a s#** about school when I was growing up. I went through high school and college partying and got that out of my system for the most part. I don't regret it, but I was always more interested in the next party.

Hindsight is always 20/20, right.

On the other hand, I would have been a great trust fund baby, but then I would probably have died already smile


“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” – Henry David Thoreau

I wish like HELL I would have put my head down and got a mechanical engineering degree. It can be applied in so many different ways, it’s not funny

Zero regrets of the path I’ve taken.

Worked at a drive-in, fast food, US Army Infantry, The Old Guard, 2.5 yrs in Germany, college, worked in the auto rental, super computer, millwork, thermal processing, oil filed services industries plus state law enforcement.

I wouldn’t have the kids or wife I currently have had my path taken a different course....

I’m perfectly content with the decisions I’ve made....

I have a thing about sitting in classrooms. I’d rather cut off a finger than do it.

I should have zigged instead of jagged in the military. Had an offer from the Company but did not like first duty station. Would not negotiate. What dumb azz.

Would have liked to had my own business or a job I was excited to go to work at. I had a 40 year career but know I could have done better.

Out of high school I was to go into marine biology with as many years of college as I wanted to be paid for. Childhood dreams and firefighter mentors changed my mind. I went for what I felt I was born to do and was in the fire service by 21 and retired 34 years later to hunt and fish. There is nothing else I wish I would have been.

Cutting horse trainer,

Fantastic athletes and pretty great group of people.

But what I do at least affords the opportunity to ride ‘em.

I did my dream job for 20+ years managing ranches and enjoyed it. But being a wildlife photographer and getting paid to do everyday that is something I would love to do.

I enjoy what I do and wouldn’t change much because of the more important things it’s brought my way, but I do believe flying an A-10 would be a great deal more exciting than what I currently do for a living.

Love my job but I'd probably be a radiologist.

With technology these days you can do a lot of it from home and make pretty darn good $.

I met a few of you wireline guys. On the job site, you got it made if you know what you’re doing. I’d be standing there freezin’ my butt off all day, eating lunch that was warmed up on a CAT engine, cussin’ the wire line guy that’s sitting in the warm truck looking up every 40’
