I love it when readers of the book learn to stop beating themselves up over their career paths! 

"I am really enjoying the book. I'm going through it myself before I start referring Corps members to it. I love that you point out that research and planning is what's important, not necessarily going to college. I realized that I have been ripping myself off because I failed to finish college, expecting less because that's what I had been programmed to believe (don't go to college = don't earn good money). Thank you."  K. M.

Brain research shows that we always make the best decision we can based on the information we have. Unfortunately, the restless human mind always comes up with more information even after a decision is made.  This is where we are different than animals.  They don't know regret.  Use your skills and talents as you wish.  If you don't like where that takes you, you can always study on your own or return to school for new skills

Take the stick out of your hand. Beating yourself up over past career decisions and letting your negative tapes run will rob you of energy and happiness.  If you don't like where you are in life, change.  If you do like where you are in life, savor the moment and give thanks.
