No second thoughts on the path I took for work. I’ve rarely hated my job, and have always made good money. I’ll retire in a few years with no regrets. I might have enjoyed other jobs more, like being a Game Warden, possibly, but I never dwell on stuff like that.

I am an amateur gynecologist. Wish I would have gone pro.

I’ve done more than my share of working in the elements. I don’t mind my view, these days.

I promise you, you don't...

We had a guy leave and became a Game Warden. He couldn't deal with the change from making 3-4 felony arrests a day to working real hard for hours or days to just write a ticket. He came back a few years later.

Accountant. I am not mad at where I am at though. College would have helped in a few decisions but we live and learn.

Song on YouTube, Biker Joe Warren: I Wanna Be A Gynecologist. Can't play it here

I was happy with the job I had for 35 years at the power plant but I really believe I could have played professional baseball if the orthopedic Drs. Had known how to fix my knee like they do today. As it was when it was operated on in 1964 I was in a cast from my hip to my ankle for 6 weeks. It took a year or so to get back to where I could even play sports and it was never like it was before I hurt it.

I don't do the would of, could of, should of thing. That being said I think I want to be a fishing guide when I retire.

Often I wonder about my life’s path if I’d gone through the Navy OCS program instead of graduate school and getting married.

All the clientele only comes in when they have problems. Yuk!

That would have been part time on breaks from coaching college football.

Lol, I know that song well. Have sang it for a lot of folks over the years.

Saltwater? You gotta learn how to catch em first.

One picture is worth a thousand words. Look it up.

Porn star...…….Just kidding wouldn't change a thing.

Truth

OMG! Your the only person I know that knows about much less sings it, Do you know the Highway song too?

Brother from another Mother that's funny.

I'm gonna move down there and spend all my time on the water. I'll have 15 years to waste until my wife retires. I'll figure it out.

I went to college had a blast met my best friends and my wife and became a commercial real estate appraiser. In principal I enjoy my job. In execution I hate my job. I enjoy working with real estate etc. My job is possible by getting sales/lease information from people. I call people every day asking how much they paid for their multi million dollar properties or how much they are leasing them for etc. Some folks understand what im doing and are more than happy to help, some folks think you are prying into their finances etc. and get very defensive.

If i could go back I would get into a trade like plumbing/electrical/ HVAC etc. and probably start my own company.

I tried to get a job as a gynecologist. Just couldn't find any openings.


Then there was the old gynecologist who had to give up the practice due to poor eyesight.

Everything was beginning to look fuzzy.

I made the switch about 5 years ago to do what I wanted to do. Firefighting was in my blood from a young age. Dad was the Chief of the volunteer department, and i started doing that as soon as i could. Graduated high school and went to the Air Force as a firefighter. Went to the USAF Reserves and then got sucked into the oil field. Had several good jobs over my 10 years in the oil patch, but none of them were what i WANTED to do.

After high school, my buddy and fellow firefighter went to work for the state forestry service. Fighting wildfires is a big part of what they do. Finally, about 5 years ago he talked me into coming over to work with him. Fire dozers, Wildland fire engines and hand crew work is a big part of our job. Hurricane, Tornadoes, Ice/Snow storm response. Managing the state forests. When we are not doing any of that, we are working with East Texas landowners to help them plan and manage their private land.

It is the most enjoyable job i have ever had, i just wish the state would take a look at wages and retirement.

The only regret i have is not finishing up my degree before i left the Air Force. When i was in my younger 20's, education wasn't my top priority. I sure wish i had that piece of paper now!

I think this.......but the grass is always greener.

Wish I'd kept flying, although I cant complain about my situation
