Lately, I have been thinking that it would have been wonderful to have taken a year or two off before or after undergrad and just traveled. You know, get a work visa, travel around, live in hostels, that sort of thing. I think that I got a little too rigidly locked into a certain progression for my life. I mean, I probably would still be where I am today, but I would have had some more amazing experiences.
Also, I have been having all of these great and random conversations--on planes and stuff--with folks who are 50+ that are starting new lives, new careers. Those conversations have been great for developing a different perspective. To know that I have plenty of time to explore a lot of different paths. I don't have to maintain some sort of unswerving course towards a predetermined goal. It's a nice place to be.
