Hey Hubski,
It's me again, not that I have really ever posted consistently, but I just posted an opinionated comment so maybe I'm cool enough to make a post.
This community has been fantastic to me. By giving me advice at different points in my life, I have been able to make sense of many parts of my life and have been able to try to make them work. it sounds depressing but I've been at that point, and I'm not anymore, and hubski has for the most part made it happen.
My main problem is this: I am a senior in college and with luck I will have a degree in engineering. I have a job offer from a fantastic company with amazing benefits. But I don't think I can stay sane there. My family really needs the money, and they really want me to work there, and there's a deadline on accepting. But I don't know if I can do it. I could barely make it through the fall, and it was even worse during the summer. I basically partied myself through the summer, and basically did my work then went home. Then I logged full hours. Most weekends I left to somewhere else and I didn't really find the escape I was looking for.
My question to you all is how have you made sense of what you have done/what has happened to/because of you? And do you think that you have done it the way you wanted? My father has always told me to live life with as least regrets as possible. I'm just having a hard time, despite everything falling into a career-wise direct path for me, to actually try to decide what is really right and wrong for me, or is it all just subjective and that I should just let it happen.
I guess I'm a late bloomer for posting. We'll see if I actually pop my head out of the shell again. Again, I'm not necessarily only looking for older people to post, nor am I looking for people who have been here the longest. You all have great inputs and the younger generation of hubskiers have great ideas as well. So don't be afraid to post what you think as well.
