I imagine more people regret not following a dream while they were able than the time they could have spent working for that period instead.
I volunteered to be downsized in the wake of a corporate acquisition. That was in 1999, after I had recently turned 34. Ended up taking three extended tours during the next two years, including my first, which was across the USA and then some.
Two years to the day after my departure I basically got my old job back. Funny how things can work out if you take a chance.
