    I had a dead-set career path (game design) and even went to college with this path in mind. When it all came together and I finally had the opportunity to do it, I made a sudden decision against it.

    Ended up being the right choice, but I don’t think my younger self would believe it.

      Wow, I could write something similar. It was game dev for me. My younger self prepared for the college path. I didn’t deviate. I didn’t land a job in the industry and now do something similar, which isn’t exactly games (VR training simulations). Best decision of my life.

      Younger self might be disappointed I don’t make cool games.

      That made me curious: what’s your current field? And has your college degree been useful in another way than originally intended?
