I’ve always called those days my Ten Million Dollar Experience:
Wouldn’t take a million bucks for the people I met and worked with or the places I saw and things I did. Absolutely wouldn’t take the other nine million to do it again.
Could not agree more! If they offered m ten million I still don’t think I would do it again. But at that time, at 18 and knowing everything, I just knew it would be an adventure and actually believed my recruiter- who told me i would be an AT but ended up a BT-only one letter off!
