AGE: 39

Why did you select your profession?

What’s the best career advice you’ve received?
Think of your career as a rubber ball and your family as a glass ball. Life is a juggling act … consider that if you drop a ball, one is rubber and will bounce back and one will not. Make your choices accordingly.

Relax! Your whole life does not need to be mapped out upon college graduation.
