Default What if...

...you could go back in time and choose/change to the career or industry (with guaranteed success)...that you dreamt about as a young adult?

Not saying that there aren't a lot of successful people here, some of who were fortunate enough to have had the exact job of their dreams (because I'm sure there are some of those living here), but even for those of us who were very successful in our business lives, I'm also guessing there might have been that 'perfect job/industry'...that some of us would sometimes daydream about.

Mine would have been to be a race car driver, in multiple series...and a plethora of types of cars and surfaces.

My racing hero has always been Mario Andretti, who's innate driving skills resulted in almost unparalleled success...across a broad swath of motorized racing.

While my dreams were fueled by a couple of winters successfully racing snowmachines in my late teens, the cold reality of life, a new wife and then children...quickly put that fantasy to bed forever.

Any other Walter Mitty types out there?
