IF YOU COULD DO IT ALL AGAIN
Laura: After I finished high school, I just wasn’t ready to go on college. I really needed some time to figure out what I wanted to do. I had saved up a lot of money; so I used it to travel through Eastern Europe for six months. It was an amazing experience and I learned a lot about myself. Once I got home, I was ready to start college. Now the only trouble is , I don’t have enough moneyto pay for it. I should have thought more about my finances before I took such an expensive trip.
Evan: By the time I was 22, I was the head of the public relations department in a major telecommunications Company. Now, I’m a vice president. I love the excitement, the status, the security and the money. But sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and wonder, “What am I doing?” Who am I? When I was growing up, I always thought I would become a teacher or an artist. Sometimes it seems like I’ve got everything and yet I’ve got nothing.
Rachel: Soon after Brad and I got married, his company transferred him to San Francisco. I had a very successful Career, but I quit my job and we moved. Brad has been transferred twice since then. Now I work as an office temp. Sometimes I think if I had been a little more selfish, maybe I could have done more with my career, too. But Brad really means a lot to me. As soon as I met him, I knew I would spend the rest of my life with him. |
