Biggest Regret(s) of Your Life

[Katipan]

Since we really don’t know what other flaps of the butterfly wings would happen had you gentlemen not endured what you experienced, I don’t imagine regret does you much good.

Like those cool books where you pick your storyline, I wouldn’t mind seeing some re-enactments of what my life would have looked like with different choices.

But purely out of scientific curiosity.

But purely out of scientific curiosity.

I agree, I would be interested to know how my life might have unfolded if I had made one different decision early in life. But I am good with where I am and who I am so no regerts here.

That decision was the choice of a stupid 18 year old. I graduated HS in 78 and started going to Oregon State for computer programming. I had shown a bit of an ability during the one semester of programming available in HS and really enjoyed it. But, I also had my first girlfriend who was a senior in high school. Every weekend I was going back home to see her. After about 6 weeks, I decided I was a smart guy and I could be making as much money in 4 years without school.

Of course, if I had followed through and graduated in 82, there was a smallish company in Remond Washington that I might have been able to get on with. Starting during the early years with Microsoft just might have made my life a little different.

Always wondered what that might have looked like.
