How old were you when you decided what you really wanted to do with your life?

Time and time again I thought I knew, but I didn't actually realize what I wanted to do until I was 27 and had been through seven different college majors.

I knew I wanted to be an engineer when I was a kid. Aerospace was my goal but other engineers at McDonell Douglas told me it wasn't a stable job. So I went electrical. I got my shit together at 25 and graduated at 31. Never looked back. Also realized I wanted to be a dad at 25. First one at 29, second at 31. My greatest accomplishments.
