An acquaintance I went to school with is a lawyer for lawyers.According to him,a lot of big time lawyers get themselves in a lot of trouble. He makes around 2g an hour but he has to live in New york city to work. But he has some nice places all over the world where he can kick back.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I'd go to Alaska. Become a hunting guide. Die beat up and broke but...
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

One of my biggest regrets is not joining the military after graduation. 18 year old kids never think about it, but you can get a lot of benefits and serve the greatest country in the world at the same time. Couldn't agree more. My only regret is not having served.

I did some time in the Army. It ain't all glorious. You gotta have a real laid back attitude to play the games.

I wouldn't change what I had. I never made any money, but I never spent any, either. Maybe I'd skip over a couple of wives. To me, lifestyle and adventure was more important than making a lot of money.

Wouldn’t change a thing. I did it My Way!!!! I am in the middle. We have been friends since we were 9. Now we are turning 60. We are still learning. Trying new things. And doing it out own way. I never have looked back. Regretted anything. Life is a learning curve. My only advice is never turn down an opportunity. You are only limited by yourself.

For years had plans of joining the military once graduating from high school but my father said no, too many drugs. Then sent me off to technical school. No drugs there.

for me I am not sure there is an answer besides fixing something
I went the path of electronics school and I support phone systems not bad work do wish I was outside some days , of course not when it is 35 and pouring rain and blowing sideways.
my cousins kid just went Navy and is an air frame mechanic green shirt on the flight deck , that could also be cool.
I just need something to fix never been good at paper shuffling or money manipulation I want something tangible that I can work on and measure even if it is moving at the speed of light.
my son is working on a CNC technician program goal being able to program and fix the CNC machines. which is what I had been thinking going into electronics school, work on cnc machines fixing them. but phones happened
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I am in school now majoring in finance because I'm pretty sure I can get a job about anywhere with a finance degree.
That said, if I was graduating tomorrow, I'd do what I wanted to do when I was a kid... become a veterinarian.... a country vet. I'd charge yuppies and greenies through the roof so I could work on kids' dogs and poor folks hunting dogs for close to cost.
