I enjoyed college and was fortunate enough to enjoy a good white collar career. But if I could do it all over again, I would have learned how to become a licensed electrician, plumber, etc.

    No, I think I’m in a good spot: I’ve made a pretty good income to support my family and still enjoy developing - actually, I’m DevOps now, so more like many small projects building the “glue” that automates everything together, and I can mostly define them myself

    My regrets include:

    • not taking better care of myself financially and socially - I have way too little set aside and no one left to spend personal time with
    • maybe I shouldn’t have taken that last promotion: it’s not as fun, nor am I as good at “influence”, project planning, design docs
