I probably went into the right field. I just wish I'd have found a niche where I don't get called at 3am because something is down.

It would be liberating to turn my phone on do not disturb every night and go to sleep

I enjoy my job, but I would be more aware of the financial woes of marrying a whore.

That's what broke me.

Relative was struggling hiring dentists for his practice. Eventually got tired of it and sold his practice and retired at age 50. The same year I would have graduated

Almost anything but public relations. I've been doing this for 20 years and I'm completely worn out at 44. The public and the media are stupid.

I’d be one of those guys that signs a 100 million dollar nba contract and never really play in any of the games after that

Michigan State has some type of packaging engineering program that everybody I know who went through it is doing really well. And it's not like typical math nerd engineering, you don't have to be that smart to get into it, I don't think.
