HMM, regret seem to me (IMAO) to be a good word, When I first started (and that date is still on calendars today) I had career options that tore me in 2 directions, engineering and Database. I think I picked the wrong one, Oracle RDBMS. I can see today that I went that direct due to the advice of people that I Trusted, but since than I have realized that they had their own agenda and I should have continued as an embedded processor programmer and not listened to those that needed a programmer that could could pick up new skills rapidly for their projects. My advice to those that are just getting started is to pick something you enjoy doing and test the motive of anyone that suggest you go do something else; that you test their motives and then do what you want which may not be what they want you to do. In the end your career is yours to manage.
Hi, that is a very powerful message and advice. Thank you. I honestly believe we all made mistakes, or seemed-as-mistakes in our careers. I do regret some as well, but because we cannot change what is done, think of it as something that made you who you are today. And you can learn new stuff, I am doing that now, it's not comfortable, but then again neither is being miserable. Hang in there and I hope you find something you like again.
