We all have much less control over our career paths than we realize. Do your best work everyday, try to be pleasant to the people you manage/work with/work for. Throw a few percent of every check into a decent index fund, put down the smart phone when your kids want your attention, and if your career ends as a Walmart door greeter or replaceable corporate cog, all the "coulda's" in the world won't change anything.
