The hardest decision I made was whether to stay with my career in the food industry or finish law school. I had tried doing both at the same time, I was mediocre at both, and didn’t like under performing, so I decided I had to choose. I loved my job in a big food company, but I was restless. I saw the career path as slow and limited. I had this notion that law opened more doors. I quit my food job and attended law school full time. I regretted my decision every day. My rejection of my own decision made law school worse. I didn’t get much out of it. But somehow I graduated I went to work for a travel company as a corporate lawyer. It was years before I owned my decision to pursue law, and regard my decision as a good one. Not owning my decision was worse than making the wrong decision. I haven’t practiced law in a long time, but I stopped kicking myself for my decisions. Somedays, I am even glad for my education.
