1. Go back and change my major to Physical Education and also get into coaching football.

2. Join the Navy after college and get into Aviation, ideally being a pilot.

This was my dream as a kid. Went to school for criminal justice and interned with the USDoJ (Interpol). But in the mid-2000's all the FBI wanted were accountants and candidates that speak Arabic so I took a different path.

So yeah, I guess learning Arabic and moving forward with my plan, haha.

I was waiting for an academy date back in 2010 right after I left active duty during the budget crunch. After getting my conditional letter after 18 months of application/hiring process, they informed me that they had no idea when they would hold another academy. They were pretty backed up so they gave me a range from 6 months to a year for me to get a date. At that point, my wife and I didn't want to keep our life on hold for another year+ so we decided to go another route.

Having tons of friends, who are special agents in various federal agencies, I'm glad that we made the decision that we did despite the jobs looking interesting (although they are not as exciting in real life from what they tell me). The uncertainty of scheduling, assignments, and other obligations make the military life look like a walk in the park in comparison. That life isn't conducive to a stable family life at all, at least not if you want to have dinner with them each day.

And oh yeah...NCIS was another one that I had similar experience with with regards to FLETC date due to the budget issues. I guess it's always all about timing.

a police officer and not just because I find it a noble profession that interests me, but because every year when you look at the highest paid employees in my town (and many towns) the top n (5 or more) are all police officers.

Plus you have decent benefits and pensions.

Anecdotally I know more than a few people who right out of college became policemen and got in their 20 years to kick in their pension and benefits, and then went and got a job with another force in leadership and are close to spending 20 years there and getting a second pension. which is nice.

More honestly though, rather than change my profession which while not a passion of mine growing up is very lucrative and not digging ditches, but I would try and influence my wife to change profession and have her be a teacher or other civil servant (she is a physical therapist).

The reason is most jobs like teacher IMO are tough to have as the primary bread winner in a family, but the benefits are great (pensions, healthcare, schedule, etc.) so I feel like one parent (either one doesn't matter) in every family should be in a job like teaching or equivalent and the other parent if they have a different corporate skill set should be the bread winner.

Agree on the profession, noble job and pays well (if you put the time in). But on that note its a rough life. To get that $200k you basically don't see your family. Lots of divorces and regrets from some of the cops I know.

agree - city cops have it rough, but when you read the police log of most MA suburbs the majority of crimes are car break ins, wild animals spotted, DUIs and wellness checks.

city vs suburban cops are night and day (IMO) - not saying being a suburban cop is easy, just it's not the city.

When I had just left active duty, we were living on the beach in Alabama (right where the hurricane just hit, actually) and I almost tried to become a game warden. I knew a guy who was one, and his life seemed pretty damned awesome to me, but the starting pay was abysmally low. This guy had been at it for 10-15 years at that point so he was making decent money, but it started at like $24K/yr. Even with the low cost of living in Alabama, that wouldn't go very far.

Particularly, one that does both the retail end (boulders, timbers, plants, etc.) and that also handles residential design work and installation.

My first job as a teenager was as a "grunt" at a local lansdscape outfit here in the deep south. Worked a lot during summers and holidays. Loading mulch, rocks, hauling stuff, Christmas trees, etc. Was backbreaking and paid like crap, but it was one of those "put hair on your chest" jobs that I really am glad to have done.

I love working outdoors, do all my own yardwork (with my 13 y/o son's help these days, thankfully) and planting, and I feel great when I can get my hands in the dirt and complete a project.

I'm a 20-year practing attorney (litigator) but always have in the back of my mind to do a 180 and get into that business at some point.

In my mind I'm going to be a park ranger or game warden - something like that - when I retire.

I always felt like I wouldn't be able to completely retire, I'd need something and those are jobs I'm interested in.

But realistically speaking someone not in their late 50's/early 60's (god willing I can retire at that age) would be better suited and more desirable than me for those jobs.

So, I'll probably do the job most of the old men around here do and work for the car dealerships driving cars back and forth. lol - mostly loitering around the dealership drinking coffee and gossipping waiting for you to be needed.

Often, and especially lately, I think I made the worst career choice possible, not much money, zero prestige, no perks to speak of, the work is dull and there’s very little security.

that I sometimes regret, maybe three, but T think the most satisfying thing I would liked to have done would have been to become a football coach.

I feel fairly certain I would have been good at it with strong organizational skills and a workaholic attitude, as well as a good set of eyes to evaluate others.

As for the opportunities I passed up:

1) the Navy invited me to become a nuclear engineer on a submarine after I passed every ROTC test imaginable (including pilot training, but eyesight limitations would have me pegged as navigator in a two pilot Phantom.) Have no idea where that would have led... Maybe a life in Idaho? Beautiful country up there.

2) martial arts master. I was a good enough student with some internal energy and potential that my first master, the great In Hyuk Suh, founder of Kuk Sool Won, noted that I along with my regular partner and BF buddy at the time could both be brought to the level as among his masters who "broke things" - like 2x4s cross grain with palm strikes. Only needed another 15+ years of training 6 days per week 3-4 hours per day to get there!

3 - an MD. That was my original goal when I returned to college to study science at almost age 30, and a lack of will to push across the grunt work derailed me from it. I am sure I'd have been good at that, too.

GManinDC : 9/19/2020 9:53 am : link
up in Brooklyn in the 70's. Me and most of my friends all thought the ultimate job was mail room clerk. Working in an office, copying machines, printers, sorting mail. The reason we thought that is because growing up in Brownsville, you really didn't know what is out there. It was the standard policeman, fireman, doctor lawyer. Never had a clue about industries or really any job besides those or maybe a train conductor or mailman.

Unfortunately, this was the outlook of many people in my area and others.

Crazy, these were the aspirations of people who lived there. College was a pipe dream and only a select few older kids i knew who went to a community college. No one can afford that in a area with the median income is 17k.

Anyway, I always wanted to be either a track star or math teacher. I ran track until I was 15, not very good but a few bronze medals. Was always very good at math until Geometry. That's when my idea of being of Math Teacher was done!

1. I would have started my side business MUCH earlier and then just focused on that.
