The grass is not greener on the other side of the hill, it only appears so because from years of experience you know all of the problems on your side, and you have no years of experience in the other. I've worked in many industries and have come to realize that every person thinks the same way: the other guy has it better.
Everything has its problems.
Not so. My preferred profession was always to have been a teacher. I've taught High School, University, and even a class at seminary. I always wanted to be a teacher, but couldn't find a place where I could live with a school's philosophy and at the same time be able to support my family. I would have loved to teach at a good old Traditional Catholic boys' High School. I prefer High School because that's the time at which the boys' characters are being formed and when you can make the most positive impact. I've also worked in other fields.
I also think that I would do well as a medical professional, or an emergency worker ... since I am extremely cool in traumatic situations. I enjoy helping people, plus I'm very calm. I've been beside people with severe gunshot wounds and traumatic head injuries, and completely kept my composure while trying to help them through it. I know another seminarian who became an EMT after he left seminary. When you want to help people, you want to help people ... and cutting code for money doesn't satisfy the deeper longings of some people's hearts.
