[quote=Anonymous]I regret not taking advantage of an amazing career opportunity to travel internationally, work with top-tier global clients, and gain expertise in a field that I found (and still find) significantly more exciting and stimulating than my chosen career path. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in my industry. I turned it down to stay locally because I had recently learned that my husband had developed substance abuse problems and needed my care. I love my husband more than life itself, and I likely saved his life by standing by his side rather than walking way (which given the circumstances most people would have done), but I'm still sad that I had to turn down my dream career as a result of his issues and dishonestly. Realistically, at this stage, I won't ever have that same or similar work opportunity again. But my husband is healthy and alive, and I don't regret that one bit, plus my "second choice" career, albeit boring, has been good to me. But I still dream of what could have been. That dream job was what I fantasized about when growing up poor and isolated, and I feel like my one chance to realize that dream slipped right through my hands through no fault of my own. But, life isn't always what you dream it will be.[/quote]
