Life is full of decisions. Often times you make them blind eg you have no way of knowing how its going to turn out. Sometimes you can predict, but as you look further into the future the less reliable those predictions are. If you went to college, you choose a major and a school, you have no idea how it will turn out. You will meet people who change your life, but you had no way to predict that when you met them. If you meet and becomes friends and work with Zuckerberg or Gates, you're life is going to be different. You had no way of knowing that "this MicroSoft company is going to be huge" when it was just starting out. I went to work at a startup in College that failed. After that large corp with long term contracts, 10 years later layoffs started. I went back to a startup again. I have no regrets about any of it though. Some of life is just luck. Don't not prepare though. That would be folly. Just be aware you can't control everything. My general rule is that if you are pretty happy with the way things are stay the course, if your not happy, look for something you love and want to do and go in that direction. That goes for personal life and work life.
