1 Answer

Answer :

In the long run I would have to go with the career path I was passionate about. Historically speaking I’ve wanted to shoot my self after a few years of working at a job I can’t stand… so if I was given the choice and knew I would love it, I would take that path. Work can be a drag if you don’t want to be there.
