Instead of moving to VT to be a ski instructor, I took a "promotion" at work - longer hours at net less money.

On the upside, that set me on a career track that made me a lot of money and eventually gave me the option to work at a very small tech company in Seattle called Microsoft in the mid-80's.

I decided they didn't have much future (Quarterdeck and Borland were clearly going to take the that Gates guy out) so went for a logistics startup.

Where I met my wife.

So, I guess I got nothing.

I'd say things turned out pretty good for ya. Being a ski instructor has a pretty short shelf life.
