Day 29 of 30 (in 30 days of Geek) – Looking back (at geek life), would you have done anything differently?

Day 29 – Looking back (at geek life), would you have done anything differently?

If I did things differently, I probably would not have met Linda and had 2 wonderful daughters and gotten to New Zealand.

So , I would not want to trade my current life.

Having said that, I did make a few decisions that in hindsight might not have made sense as a young adult.  I spent too much time playing and partying when I was in school.  And I changed majors multiple times.  But I have always loved technology, so in hindsight, going right into the technology sector would have made my live easier.  If I had gone straight into Computer Science for my BS, I probably would have gotten my Masters Degree at Duke or UNC (in Computer Science) and maybe my PhD too.

Instead, I got a more business oriented in my approach, and my Masters Degree is an MPA (Masters of Public Administration) with a concentration in Information Technology, from North Carolina State University.

So, things worked out well, I just took a roundabout way of getting where I am.
