Moral of the Story: You need to be flexible enough to work in more
than one area of technology and, perhaps, MORE THAN IN ONE
CAREER.
Regrets: so many interesting things to do, but not enough years in one’s
lifetime. MAKE PRUDENT USE OF YOUR WORKING YEARS….IF
IT NO LONGER SEEMS RIGHT- CHANGE.
“A pessimist looks at the glass as half empty. An optimist looks the glass
as half full. An engineer says the glass is too big.”
Would I go to an engineering school again? Unequivocally YES.
Would I go to law school again? It depends!
