had you taken a different path or different job, say, ice cream truck driver
I studied astodynamics with several very important professors in that field Dr. Herrick, Dr. Baker, Dr. Makemson and all encouraged me to get my PhD. Well, I decided to go to work in the aerospace industry in LA. Work was exciting and interesting and I never looked back. I did get my Master's while working.
But I could be a tenured professor at UCLA now if I had listened to them. I do wonder about the choice from time to time.
Anyone wish they had taken the other road(s) in their life.
