      I have enjoyed most of the jobs I have done. I was a sales rep once and that was horrid but taught me a great deal about what I enjoy and who I am. So YES I have made the right choices and chased an enjoyable career at the cost of riches and fame. I am happy with my choices. Regards Robin

    Really good question.

    Honestly, there are times when I think, “Oh man, I really wish I did this or that with my life.”

    But, then I look at what I’m working on and everything I’ve worked on was to improve the quality of life for society. Sure, I’d love to jump off a concert stage and crowd surf, but I don’t think that’s me (or anyone else) every night for the rest of my life. Engineering is something that will never bore me or depress me, until I’m really old.
