Choosing a career is a very important junction in our life. It's one thing that should be attempted according to our interests but there are very few who end up doing what they initially loved to. The reasons for choosing a different career may vary hugely and it may be financial to personal or physical or many others.
For now, if you've missed upon your natural interest/talent to replicate in your work, just tell SN, what would have been your primary choice of career if you could go back in your life and be in your 20s or 30s once again?

I would have been a vet. I think I am putting my dog’s vet’s kids through college.

That's really an awesome career! I myself wanted to be the vet but there's no great career for a vet in India. Not in my times!

TheWildHustle would either go into acting, or head to the monastery.

Super cool answer! Acting is the exact opposite of being a monk! So, you mean, either be on edges, there's no middle to be pr not to be!!

Cypherpunk. I feel nothing would be as cool or satisfying. Of course I don't think I had the aptitude.
reply
You seem to have all the required aptitude to be one. I see you always hidden in the darkness on the leaderboard! What's better way to be a cypherpunk??

As a kid I had ideas to become professional football player or rock musician, but at the end of the day, computers was my thing, I don't regret that decision. Now I'm football fan and amateur guitar player at home.

It's easy for me. I would love to be a sports person, most preferably a Cricketer.

I have always liked to sing all kinds of music so I would like to go back in time and dedicate my entire life to music.
reply
I feel this one sometimes. I have so much love for music and very little practiced skill. Natural ability, maybe. But I have not developed it at all. I get to see it through my daughter. She is 16 and has been playing music well her whole life. 💚

I'm still in my 30s, don't want a career. Instead wanted something by which I can be financially free upto the age of 35. I came to know about Bitcoin in just last 6 months and I can say I've found what I wanted.

I went for writing tests administered by our national daily because I wanted to become a journalist. But I failed both times. So a teacher I would be haha

I'd move to teacher/professor path. Share knowledge is the best choice for me

Same. I am always living the best life I know how to. As I learn more, I decide to do different things. For a long time, I loved being an electrician. Now I love building moto mountain. If I wanted to do something different, I would just do it.
